COACH'S QUOTE
"It was a very good tune up meet for conference (AE) in two weeks. James great race in the mile. Same for Kenny in the 800," said associate head coach Joe Gingras.  "They executed the race plan well and put themselves in good position for two weeks from today. Excellent run for Jameson and most of the other guys in the 3k. Several lifetime bests. Overall, a solid prep meet." – Showdown at the Heights

"The competition at Middlebury was just what our field event athletes needed to sharpen up before conference championships. Overall performances were very impressive, with a number of victories on the women's side," said associate head coach Kasey Hill. "Of note was Morgan Ryan, Kate Kelly, Annika Huber and Inge Schmidt, who all produced winning marks today. We will take the next two weeks to fine tune technique and focus on recovery." – Middlebury Field and Track Meet

"Good problem to have when there are too many victories and personal bests to list them all.  When people have ambitious goals and perform even beyond those goals, I get pretty excited.  The fact that we didn't have 100 percent success leaves us plenty to work on in the teo weeks leading up to America East," said head coach Matt Belfield. "Our men and women continue to support each other exceptionally well, and it is that of which I am most proud." – Big Apple Invitational
