COACH CULLEY ON THE WOMEN'S RACE
"We are proud of the effort and execution of the women's team today. We put nine runners in the top 15 and showed great depth as a program. We are young with three sophomores and one freshman rounding out the top five, but it's easy to see how good this team is and will be in the next few years. Madeline ran a fantastic race and ran a personal best on that course by over 30 seconds and was a great low stick for us. Penn State is a top ranked team nationally and No. 1 in our region. It was a feather in our cap today, but the season is long and we have a lot of work ahead of us."

COACH BONSEY ON THE MEN'S RACE
"I was really happy with the effort from our front three consisting of Spencer Brown, Ty Brownlow and Price Owens. They put themselves in a great position all race and hung tough over the very challenging last mile of the course. After that it was a mixed bag for us but I saw what we need to work on. We now head into a three-week training block headed into Notre Dame, so I'm excited to see how much we can improve during that time span. Adding in Nick Wareham, Jack Van Scoter, Matt Bouthillette and Rusty Kujdych at Notre Dame will help our team significantly."
UP NEXT
The men's team will travel to South Bend, Indiana on October 4 to compete in the Joe Piane Invitational. The women's team will travel to Lehigh, Pennsylvania on October 5 to compete in the Paul Short Invitational.
