Coach Mike De Witt commented:  "The ladies did a very good job of competing at the front of their races this week, one of the goals we aimed at was to get out at or near the front, as this meet was geared to the top end of our best times and marks this season.  We raced with confidence and showed that we can race well with a good focus.  This team does a great job in training and it transfers well to the meets.  It was great that both Lexi and Krissy earned victories, they are both currently ranked fifth in the GLVC in their events.  We finished off the first half of the season with this good meet, now we will prepare for the championship season which will begin on the 21st at Rose Hulman, after a week break in the action."
