Coach Bonsey on the Men
"I was pleased with the team today. I thought we were really close to running great, but we will settle for a solid day. We had a great pack, but we just have to work on our front running, which will come together throughout the season. I thought
Price Owens and Rusty Kujych ran outstanding races by stepping up as our fourth and fifth runners. Rusty was one of the top fifth-place team runners in the field. Today was a really fast race and I think that effort will help us as we move on throughout the season. I also thought that
Tristan Forsythe ran a great race in the Open race. Overall, I'm pleased with our depth and that should serve us well moving forward."
UP NEXT
The Hoyas will travel to Madison, Wisconsin on October 18 to compete in the Wisconsin Invitational.
