QUOTABLE

"The team is super excited to finally get back on the trails for a cross country race. I am very curious to see how the team we are racing competes in this field. The guys are fit and excited to get out there." - Head coach Felipe Montoro on the men's team

"I think I speak for all of us, especially having had no cross country last fall, when I say we are thrilled to get this season going. There's a really good energy at practice right now. There are still a lot of unknowns, but we've been training well, and Saturday will be a good gauge for us against a very cometitive field." - Associate head coach Pete Cushman on the women's team
