TOP QUOTE #1
"I was pretty pleased with the men's race. They went out quick, which was something new for us this season. It is hard to beat a team at home, but I was really pleased with how the guys raced. My younger stepped a little bit and that was good to see. Now we just have to get rested up and get ready for Stanford. On the ladies side, they raced really well. They were all coming home and catching people." -- assistant head coach Jon Capron on the team's performance
WHAT'S NEXT
Next weekend, the men and the women will be in different locations as the men travel to the Stanford Invitational and the women compete at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis. Minn.
