QUOTING ORNER
"Our goals and general race plan won't change much this week on the men's side. Similar to Louisville, this is a fast course, there's great competition for our guys and as long as they race to their fitness level they'll do very well. I'm racing all 12 guys in the varsity race to give everyone an equal shot at earning a spot to BIG EAST. Grayson continues to look great in workouts but I think we'll see a few other guys up near him this weekend like Charlie, Garrett and Aaron."
QUOTING ORNER
"Over the past two weeks the women's team has come together during workout sessions better then they have all season. It's been really exciting to see the girls run more aggressive and with more confidence. I think they're starting to see how well they can race when they work together. I still expect Maddie to lead the way with Gina close behind, but there are five other girls that could be within 10 seconds of one another to round out our top seven."
• The Musketeers competed in two meets on Sept. 30 - Oct. 1. Xavier raced at the All-Ohio Invitational on Sept. 30 and the Louisville Classic on Oct. 1, splitting its roster among the two days.
• The Xavier women placed 15th at the Louisville Classic and ninth at the All-Ohio Invitational. The Xavier men placed 31st at the Louisville Classic and eighth at the All-Ohio Invitational.
