We increased intensity in training and the athletes stepped up with a big time weekend performance. We moved up in the conference rankings in every event we competed in.

"Every team sets goals, and this team has the character needed to achieve them. We are pleased with our progress and all goals are alive and well as we head into week three. We just need to keep working hard. This is a fun group to watch compete."
