Course Side with Head Coach Matt Esche:

"Overall, I think we ran really well. Six of our seven ran 10 to 40 seconds faster on this course today than they did a month ago. It's a very exciting result," head coach Matt Esche said. "Finishing the season 15th is a testament on how far this program has come as two years ago we finished 25th.

"Emily was outstanding today. Fifteenth overall to earn USTFCCCA All-Region Honors is an incredible accomplishment. That race puts an exclamation point on an incredible season for her."
