Head Coach Kyle Will said, "almost every one of our guys ran a PR or improved over last week, and I am just really proud of how they are doing. We now have a week off to get some rest and heal up and get healthy and then we will work hard to get ready for our last couple of races. I feel really good heading into conference as everybody is racing, competing, and running tough."
 
Up Next: The Beacons will take a weekend off before returning to action on October 17 at the George Oja Invitational, hosted by Linfield University.
