Quotable: Assistant Coach Charlotte Imer

"The Penn State National Open is set to be a great meet with some strong teams from Pennsylvania and surrounding states attending. Unfortunately, on the women's side we're down two key contributors this week so we're not quite where we need to be in terms of depth. That won't stop our runners from putting forward their best effort and striving to be the best we can be. I'm excited to see our athletes race on Penn State's Cross-Country course as we will be returning here for Mid-Atlantic Regionals in a months time!"
