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

"I was extremely proud of how our women handled the course today. They ran tough; they moved up. It was a very gritty performance! Can't name everyone, but getting top 10 was huge for us. Riley snagging an All-ODAC spot was really big too. Sadie Teer was 60th last year at the ODAC meet and finished 35th today and was our third runner!
