This was their first 6k and I knew the increase in race distance was going to provide a bit of a challenge and it was great to see our ladies rise to that challenge despite the heat. It was exciting to see them battle and compete throughout the entirety of the race."- Janna Langrell (Director of Cross Country and Track & Field)
