"This year is a big step for our distance program. Not only did we double our roster size for Cross Country, but I am excited with the talent level of ladies we brought in. I think this group could help be the start of making our program a lot more competitive," said Head Cross Country Coach Dom Santina. The Cross Country team will open the season with the Comet Open hosted by Olivet College on Friday, September 1.
