Quotes from Marshall assistant Caleb Bowen:
"What a fun season we had! We saw a lot of progress from both teams. The men finishing the season ranked in the region (top 15 are ranked) is a huge step forward for us. They all raced hard and it was fun to see them perform well. This season was a great building block for years to come.
This meet was dedicated to our seniors that ran today. Dan Green, Alex Minor, and Audreana Lewis have had great careers and it's sad to see them go. That being said, they've built this program from the bottom up and they are definitely leaving it better than they found it."
