FROM COACH LOFDAHL
"Our guys stuck to their race plan pretty well today. The weather was nice and other teams took it out fast, but we stayed with the workout plan and ran a nice last three-quarters of a mile. Tyler and Carson stayed controlled up front, and our pack was pretty tight from 1 through 7 and beyond. Solid first meet in uniform for Sean Pettis, Sam Martini, and Gabe Trevino. We have a very young squad and just need to keep working hard and focus on getting better each week."

NEXT UP
Wayne state will host the annual Warrior Challenge on September 15. The meet will take place in New Boston, Mich. at Will Metropark. The men will start at 5:45 pm.
