FROM THE HEAD COACH
"We had some very solid individual performances today. A little behind where we want to be as far as our team performance, but I know we'll be ready in two weeks at the Southern Conference Championships."

"The teams fought hard today on a very, very tough and challenging course in Tuscaloosa. Jack Martin leads the way and had a strong, strong second half of the race."

"Leila Hailey led the way for the women again. It was great to see her as a freshman, for the first time in a huge setting like that at Alabama, go out there and run a strong race."

"Looking forward to the SoCon Championships to see what we have when we lineup against the rest of the conference. I know both teams will be ready to leave it all out on the course in two weeks at the Tryon Equestrian Center for the championships."
