Quote from Head Coach Kate Howard - 
"It was a great day to host our first six-thousand-meter race of the year on the Hoffmann Cross Country Course for the Ronald C. Hoffmann Invitational. We are continuing to find ourselves as a team and today gave us some good data of where we are over the full six-thousand-meter championship distance. Alli Sibold was poised from the start and really showed her strength over the middle portion of the race to take home another individual victory which was terrific to see on our home course. We saw a lot of progress today from all of our team members which has us looking forward to this next phase of the season.
