From Head Coach Margo Geer
"Those were two sessions of some really good racing for the women being able to back up their performances from yesterday and getting after it again this morning. We just kept competing against a good team and tried cleaning up some things from the first day. We're really trying to make some moves on our relays so being able to compete if all four relays over the two days was good. That's definitely an emphasis and something we want to keep getting better at.
We're at a spot now where we can really get ready for the UGA Invite and have some really good racing points from the past two days to take into the Invite along with championship season. Overall, I'm proud of them and they're growing as a team which is what we're aiming for and everything is starting to come together really nicely."
