After the dust settled, Head Coach Kyle Will said, "everything went really well today hosting the meet and we hope to continue to grow this event in the future. Pine Ridge is a great course and a great venue for cross country. As for the team, we weren't worried about our times or performance today, just wanting to go out and represent well which I think we did. We are working hard towards conference in two weeks, and we are hoping to get rest, get healthy, and get fired up to finish strong."
