Rosolino's Remarks 
"We had a couple of voids to fill this week with sickness hitting the team, so I was happy to see some people step up and have some good races.  Overall, we can be better than we were today, but I am pleased to see our progression as we get to the championship part of the season.  This was a big challenge for us competing with several of the top 30 teams in the country.  I think we showed that we are close to that mix and can hang with them.  We look forward to the next 6 weeks of proving it."

Next Up 
The Eagles will be back in action on October 21 when they travel to Boca Raton, Fla. to compete in the Sunshine State Conference Championship at the South County Park.
