 鈥淚t was great to see everyone's hard work pay off,鈥 said Captain Maura O鈥橞rien. 鈥淲e all put in so many hours of training during the season, and it shows when we race. Even though we endured harsh conditions at Nationals, we all supported each other, cheered each other on and that was awesome.鈥

鈥淲e achieved the ultimate goal,鈥 said Coach Mike Melfi.  鈥淏oth men and women claimed national titles on the track. I am beyond a proud coach. Every student athlete we brought to track nationals not only qualified based on the standards, but everyone scored at least 1 point. This was truly a team effort, and it was not a surprise. Year round, this team gets up early in the mornings, they train daily and give up social events on campus ...  all for each other. They are so team-oriented and it's amazing to see. Thank you to our assistant coaches Hannah Anthes and Aine Haugh who helped us so much this season. We could not have done this without them.鈥
