First year head coach, Jon Bush, who did an excellent job with the team this season said after the meet: I’m proud of the effort that the boys and girls put in this entire season. Both teams experienced highs and lows but both come out stronger because of it. We still have more hard work to put in, and we’re looking forward to running our best races at the Commonwealth Athletic Conference Championship meet next Saturday.
