thought we had great leadership from our seniors today and the
underclassmen were a great supporting class. This is the way we want
to honor our seniors. On the women's side, it was a great meet.
These meets have been very close and we just have to win more races.
We have been in the right position but just need to get more wins.
This was another good meet and hopefully our women can get hungry by
the ACC Championships. I also want to say congratulations to our
seniors."
