COACH PROVENCE QUOTE
"Hannah Smith led the women and competed very well with several NCAA Division I and Division II runners. I was most impressed with how she finished the last 800 meters, gaining a few spots and looking strong through the finish. Grasyn continues to run better with each race. I also thought Katherine stepped up and ran well, breaking into our top-5 and helping the women come through with a strong team performance. Overall, this was another step in the right direction and I am very pleased with the outcome."
