Coach Van Allen's Thoughts
-  "This was such a different race for us than at prenats, as we didn't get the best team position early but we also ran a more patient race. Jared and Andrew got out in great position and battled well with All-American's Patrick Watson from Stevenson and Sean McAneny from Suny Geneseo."
-  "Early on we were in 3^rd place about 60 points out of the lead. By 3 miles, the top 4 had separated from the field and we had narrowed the point gap on CMU by less than 10 points.  With 1k to go, Watson and Pangallozzi really started accelerating and we were going back and forth with CMU in the team score with us now ahead by just 4 points." 
-  "I thought this was one of the best team races we had run, and Jared and Andrew were outstanding today.  Jared was able to drop a 4:26 on his final mile and is getting better and better each week with King establishing himself as one of the best in the country with a 30 second PR.  Our top 5 average was 24:32, our fastest ever by over 20 seconds. We actually had the fastest average time of the day.  Vipul, Sean, and Connor ran very strong and I think the more they continue to pack up and feed off one another the better we will be in November."
