Coach Derek Workman's thoughts on the race... 

"I was incredibly proud of how our men handled the course today. They were tough and gritty. They were patient; they moved up in the middle of the race and navigated the hill really well. Really solid team effort! Parker and Nathaniel both being in the top 10 for us hasn't happened for Roanoke at the ODAC Championships since 2004. Elias earned his first All-ODAC award in his career earlier today!
