Quote from head coach Keith Vroman
"Our guys performed fantastic with some of the best competition in the country. Alaba making it in two events is very hard to do but he is consistent which pays off in competition. Stephen ran one of the toughest races on the track with the wind gusting. Carmelo finished off the season with one of his best races, coming into the competition at 47th and finishing 25th."
