POSTGAME COMMENTS
"The men ran really solid today at UVA. The race got out incredibly fast and we handled that well. I'm very pleased with where we are at this point of the season. The guys are very excited to race at WCC's in a few weeks and test themselves.
I was also really pleased with the guys who competed at the Bronco. Brendan Mulvany had a career day and I couldn't be happier for him. He earned himself a spot on the WCC championship roster." - Head Coach Felipe Montoro
