QUOTES FROM THE JASPERS
Head Coach Todd Witzleben: “Both the men’s and women’s teams had their final tune-up heading into the MAAC Championship. For the men, we were finally able to run our entire top 7 and the results showed a large improvement from our previous performances. Adrian led the way with a strong race. Rasmus closed very well over the last mile to help our team pass three rivals late in the race. Mikaella went out very quickly with the lead pack and held on to a top 10 finish. We ran without our normal 5th, so it was awesome to see Natalia step up and have her best performance when we needed her most. We must recover now and prepare for the conference meet in two weeks.”
UP NEXT
The Green and White are back in action on Saturday, November 1, when the Jaspers compete in the MAAC Championships at Twin Ponds on the Farm in Montgomery, NY. This will be the second time the Jaspers are running this course, and are the hosts of the event.
