FROM COACH LOFDAHL
"Very rough day out there for the Warrior men. We're struggling with some things right now, and we know that we'll be better than this for GLIACs in two weeks. There were certainly some positives, especially Ransom making a nice win over a tough field look pretty easy. Tyler fought through a rough stretch in the middle of the race and closed really well, and Adam keeps on getting better each meet. Jack Wallace had a very solid race as well. We will re-focus and be ready to turn things around as we start our championship meets."

UP NEXT
The Warriors will get set to host the GLIAC Championships at Willow Metropark on Nov. 4. The women's race will begin at 11 AM, with the men's race beginning at 11:45 AM.
