Quoting head coach Sara Mason Vergote
"I was impressed with our men's team across the board. Kevin did a great job leading our group and I thought we ran a very disciplined race.

"It was great to have Aniya back in the lineup and she will only continue to improve each week. For a lot of our women this was the first time in their careers they have been in a race of this quality and depth.

"We look forward to the next block of training and the opportunity to test ourselves against a quality field at Texas A&M."
