Rosolino's Remarks
"Overall this was a good race for the women. Â We had hoped to finish higher, but our main goal has been to close our gaps from 2-3 and 2-5 and today we did that. Â It was good to see the continued progression in that group. Â This will serve as a confidence booster for us as we move into the championship season. Â We are excited and gearing up for the conference meet in two weeks."

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.
