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.
"I thought we had a really good race today. We closed the gap with Saint Leo from last week and we got better from the last meet to this meet. I was happy with our overall improvement and with Maggie Allen in particular, who ran her best race ever today. We posted some good times on a very challenging course and I was pleased with the overall effort.
It's also always fun to see our alums come back an compete in this event."
Next Up
The Eagles' next race will be on September 23 in Gainesville at the Mountain Dew Invitational hosted by the University of Florida.
