- " Really great performances by both teams this weekend. We were having a lot of season bests and even lifetime bests all weekend. With only a little rest going into this meet we are very excited and encouraged for what we can do later in the year with more training, more rest and ironing out all our race details in the next 2 and half months. We look forward to a little break for Thanksgiving but will be back at it hard to end the semester against USMMA."
UP NEXT
Stevens closes out the fall semester with a road meet on December 7 as they visit the United States Merchant Marine Academy at 12 pm.
