Rosolino's Remarks 
"We had a few individuals who stepped up and had very good races, especially Noah Kemp, Stephen Dietz, Shad McGrew and Brian Cheluget.  In general, though, we are a little disappointed with our finish today.  We have to tip our hat to the men from Florida Southern and St. Leo who had outstanding races today.  They were well prepared and executed a great race plan. We hope to learn from this race and to have a better result in two weeks at the Regional Championship."

Next Up 
The Eagles will be back in action on November 4^th when they travel to Lakeland, Fla. to compete in the NCAA South Region Championship at Holloway Park.
