What They Said
"Tina and Jess ran brave races today and really earned their All-CAA awards. Both of them have made huge improvements throughout their Delaware careers and are great examples of commitment and dedication. Given the circumstances of this year, and this being our only cross country race of the year, we'll chalk this up as a learning experience. Everyone in our top five from today will be back next year, so we'll continue to develop and be better prepared for next season." – Head Coach Ryan Waite.
