FROM THE COACHES 

Head coach Felipe Montoro: "We are really grateful to everyone at Bellarmine whom we worked with to host the meet. It was fun to see so many parents and friends supporting the team. I thought the men looked really good across the board and I'm super excited for the next meet. I thought Aditya Mohan in the 3,000 and Brendan Jones in the 1,500 had the best performances; both guys have made huge improvements and it was good to see it translate to the competitive environment."

Associate head coach Pete Cushman: "The women have been very invested in each other's performances, and it makes for a great team and race environment. They're having fun, competing for each other, and making the most of their race opportunities."
