From the Meet
"Our women had some incredible performances this weekend. Since joining the MAC, our top finisher at the Conference Championship was 20th back in 2019. We placed
Kaitlyn Adams,
Fionna Feerick, and
Isabella Gabay 15th, 18th, and 19th respectively. This is the best our women's team has ever been in the MAC, and we had so many incredible performances from top to bottom. I'm so excited for the next couple of weeks for everyone to get healthy and prepare for the Regional Championships, as I know we can do as well as we've done in a very long time." -- Head Coach
John Kolibab
