Rosolino's Remarks
"I would first like to thank all the volunteers who put in two days' worth of work to get the trail ready for the meet after the hurricane. It was a great event that wouldn't have been possible without their hard work.
It was exciting to be back at home and defend our home turf. It was nice to be back in the win column again for the second straight week and I thought we had a good all-around effort and raced really well today. We had some of our freshman getting 8K experience for the first time and I thought they did well. We're starting to move forward and I look for us to continue to improve and be ready for a big race next week in Gainesville."
Next Up
The Eagles will be back in action on September 23 when they travel to Gainesville to compete in the Mountain Dew Invitational hosted by the University of Florida.
