"We are pretty excited about the opportunity. It's always a good place to go, and it's been a couple of years since we've brought both teams to the regional championships, so I think that's really exciting for all of us. I love it because to me it's what Division I cross country is about in real big meets that are super competitive as there are probably going to be a couple of hundred people in the races. It's always also good to see our student-athletes see that level of competition. I think the men's team is ready to go. It seems like Adam Puett has them primed up and they are excited about the championship. I think on the women's side after their finish at conference they are really excited about the event as well. I think it will be really interesting to see how many people after the championships that we can get on our all-time lists for the 10K and 6K this weekend." – Head Coach Jesse Norman
