QUOTING COACH ORNER

"I'm really proud of the group that went up to the Indiana relays this weekend. This meet was about race tactics, being a competitor and learning how to win. All of the women did a great job accomplishing the goals I set out for them and I think it was a good step in the right direction as we prepare for more tactical races at BIG EAST."

"Hannah Russell's performance in the 800 was really impressive. She won her heat coming from last place with 200m to go and was third overall in the 800. She beat five girls who have run 2:10 or faster, including a several NCAA qualifiers."

"Finally, Anna Kostarellis continued her record breaking season by improving her own school record by almost eight seconds while taking 3rd in a stacked 3,000m. Anna is getting back to her cross country fitness and looks stronger each week."
