PIGG'S POINTS
"We have a very focused group that has put a lot of effort into preparing for the ASUN Championships. Things have gone well this fall considering we're missing Noah Perkins from an Achilles injury from NCAA track. A lot of other guys have stepped up and we're ready to race. Nathan Jubran has done an outstanding job again this season and is our top returner. I think he has a lot left in the tank as we head into the championship. Leo Queueo has made a drastic improvement. He has always had a desire but taking it to the next level is not easy, it's a process and it has finally translated to his races. Senior Rob Leverone has had a couple of setbacks but is ready to defend the team title and has proven to be a great leader for this group. Senior Sem Sultanov has also seen the process pay bigger dividends. Last year he made nice gains and this year it has been consistent. Freshman Aidan O'Gorman has really transitioned well into college life and racing 8000 meters. He is all in on our clean living, hard-working philosophy and it has done him well." --Head coach Jeff Pigg
