QUOTING COACH ORNER

WOMEN
"It was great to watch Anna challenge some of the best in the country for the win today. She was just 3 seconds out of first and ahead of several All-Americans. I think today solidified the idea that she can race with anyone be in contention to win just about every meet we attend."

"Although we were a few spots behind where I thought we should be in the team competition, I'm glad the girls stuck to a conservative race plan. We didn't have any medical issues and will have the next three weeks to train hard. Courtney Klatt really saves us today as a team. She passed so many girls over the last 1k and wasn't far off Jenna who was our 4th."

MEN
"The men's race didn't go as planned. They didn't get out fast enough in the first 400 which really set them back for the rest of the race."

"Individually, Brady had a good day to lead the team and Jordan ran his best race in a Xavier uniform. They've got a lot of work to do in the next three weeks to start racing where I know they can be."
