"I am pretty excited about the men's finish. We did a great job of packing it up, which is how we're going to be successful this year. We had some big PR's with them, so they'll be excited heading into championship time. On the ladies side, I am a little disappointed in our team finish. We had a great up front finish with Phoebe and Kelley, but we weren't able to finish it off due to one not finishing. I felt like we could have been a third place team today. We'll use today to get fired up for the conference championship in two weeks." - Head Coach Jesse Norman
