THOUGHTS FROM COACH PIGG...
"I thought the guys had a good race. When it was apparent things were not going great for us as a team, they all dug down and continued to compete. I'm proud of that effort and determination. Cross Country was fun but track season is here now and the work that everyone has done for cross country will be paying off moving forward. Nick did a nice job and it was great to see him earn All-Region honors. He worked hard this summer and came in ready. Tyler ran his last college cross country race. He has done so much for our program. He is consistent, runs well and is a great leader. Noah continued his strong running, finishing second for us, and making a nice improvement this season. Fynn ran his best 10k to date as did Rob, who was our fifth finisher."
