Head Coach Derek Workman:
"Savannah and Sarah led the way for us today. Savannah has been our No. 1 pretty much all season, and she left it all out there in her last cross country conference championship. Sarah is a gamer, and she always shows up in the big races for us. I thought we ran very well today from 3-7, and that proved to be the difference for us. I was proud of our women and their mental toughness and grit today."

Workman on hosting the ODAC championship:
"It's always special to be able to compete in another conference championship meet. The course was in great shape, and we could not have asked for better weather."
