QUOTABLE | Head Coach Rick Pratt
"Today was a great experience for our young team despite the loss. Traveling up here for back-to-back duals is always a huge challenge and gives us a great lesson in resilience. They came together as a team and had some better results towards the end of the meet. 
 
"The last relay today was a great sign that we're on track to do something special at the end of the year. They're buying into the process, and we've got to keep learning and working hard towards success at the end of the season."
