Quotables

"The was a great meet for us to shake off a lot of rust and cobwebs," stated Head Coach Shannon Maas. "It's been over 19 months since we last competed, so we really wanted to get a competition in as early in the season as possible. School of Mines hosted a phenomenal meet and we could not have asked more from our squad. They performed at a very high level, which is a testament of their ability to endure during such a tumultuous time."
