    TOP QUOTE

    "It felt so great to be back racing again today against Salve and Gordon. If the results show anything, it's that we have a competitive conference and it will be an exciting season of competition," said Endicott women's cross country head coach Spencer Lange. "I am proud of the Gulls for pushing for every spot out there. The way they adjusted during the race to elevate each other was a great thing to see. Brie [am Ende] and Michaela [Kenney] stepped up and both ran PRs, which ended up playing a big role in the end result. This whole team has been making each other better over these last two weeks, which will be key as racing picks up. We will continue to lay the foundation for the months ahead, but happy to see where we are at!"
