Quotable: Assistant Coach Charlotte Imer
"The Owls are ready and excited to race at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship tomorrow! This is the last race of the season and an occasion our athletes been building towards all year. The men will give their all tomorrow to finish higher than 9th (our current regional ranking). I'm expecting big things from Cole Frank, and Elsa Chan. Both are in incredible fitness and are capable of earning all-region honors in the men's 10k and women's 6k.

It should be great racing conditions so we just have to go out and execute what we came here to do!"
