HEAD COACH TED BULLING'S COMMENTS

• "Considering we did not run our women's full team, they competed to the best of their abilities.  Especially freshman Delaney Vacek, who has improved a great amount in the past 6 weeks."
• "The men ran pretty well.  Norbert Weijenberg was among the leaders in a strong field and Grant Reid continued his strong season with a top 20 finish."
• "We are glad we came to the meet to preview the course we will run at the NCAA regional championship. It is a challenging course so it was very helpful to experienced it now."
