Coach Brad's Post Race Comments
"We faced a very competitive field today and we were not at our collective best. It was great to see the Ivy League Championship course and some of the top runners in the conference at Franklin Park. We have work to do over the next month to be the very best team we can be in the heart of the championship season. I have confidence our talented crew will build from this experience and be well prepared for the next opportunity at the ECAC Championships at historic Van Cortlandt Park in two weeks."
Next Up
