Donner's Debriefing
"I thought we accomplished plenty this weekend. Both the men's and women's teams won the team title and we showed great balance in all the event groups. Our athletes did a great job of handling the adversity of the wind and cooler weather. We tested many of them by competing on back-to-back days. We are looking forward to competing at home three of the next four weekends, including the Patriot League Championships next month."
