COACH'S QUOTE
"The team result in our second left a little to be desired, but we continue to have women step up and race really well when a teammates has a rough day. Midterms got us a bit for sure, and the best thing is the women are positive and looking forward from here," said head coach
Matt Belfield. "Congrats to Clare for top-25 recognition and really good races from Emma and Caroline as well. Happy to see some really good times in the open race as well. Especially happy to see Sadie climbing back up to her potential."
