“I am very proud of how much this group has grown in such a short time. They have continually attacked every workout and race with increased toughness, a positive mindset, and a determination to improve. As we head into our championship race, I look forward to seeing all this season’s hard work pay off! This group could not be in a better position to run their best on Saturday, and I am excited for them to have this opportunity to race at the conference level!”
