WORDS FROM THE WARHAWKS
"I am proud of our team this morning for their effort on a tough course," said head coach
Ryan Thompson. "Florida has some hills, which is not something we have had a lot of early this season. We were able to move some of our girls up closer to West Florida which will help us handle them a little better by the time conference comes around. Overall, I am pleased. Now we're ready for North Carolina, a fast course, and some cooler weather."
UP NEXT
The Warhawks travel to Charlotte, N.C. on Friday, Oct. 7 to race at the Royals Challenge, hosted by Queens University at McAlpine Park.
