COACH'S QUOTE
"Our teams finished their respective seasons with very good team performances. Top-25 for the women was the goal, so one spot better was great. Siena and Alex got better each race this year and Caroline backed up her fantastic AE race with another strong effort. Grace being back healthy for this one made a huge difference. The men moved up nicely throughout the 10K to earn a nice finish as well.  Will Locke was excellent again and our pack stayed tight behind him supporting all the way through to some very good finish times. Bennett and Patrick had really strong finishes to their seasons.
 
America East having an individual qualify for the NCAA Finals in both the men's and women's races speaks to how strong our conference is right now, fighting for those spots with Power-4 teams and winning the battles. Great to see Cross Country programs from AE consistently represented at the NCAA finals; and I wish our friends from Bryant and Lowell all the best next Saturday."
