THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH TORREY OLSON
Proud of our teams today. Liberty took a great step forward and Angela led us well up front. The men put together their best team race of the season to place 6th in a very strong field. They put themselves in the mix and left it out there. We'll wait to see Monday afternoon if we have any individuals move forward.
WHAT'S NEXT
It's now a waiting game for Alan Jimenez. They will find out Monday, Nov. 10 to see if Jimenez will receive an at-large bid to the NCAA National Championships held in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Nov. 22.
