QUOTABLE
"We've got two races coming up over the next two weeks, and so this first weekend against Saint Mary's is a chance for some of our younger athletes to get another race in, and familiarize themselves with our home course, and get some more 6k experience leading into some bigger races ahead. We had a great showing against the Gaels in the first race of the year, but this being a dual will present a bigger challenge for us, but we are prepared and up for it."

Head coach Pete Cushman
