PIGG'S POINTS
"The women are so far ahead of where they were last year. Today's finish was a big step in the right direction for the program's future. Lydia was in the Netherlands until three weeks ago, so we've been cautious with her training. She's a really great competitor and very talented. She ran smart and executed her race plan. Grace only comes to practice once a week because of her nursing classes, so her performance today was a tribute to the work she does on her own time. Freshmen Mia and Billie did a really nice job today and have really bright futures ahead of them. Camryn had another solid day overall." -- Head coach Jeff PiggASUN Awards
