Post Game Press:
"It was a great start to our season, said junior
Samantha Carus (Brownfield, Maine). "Everyone did amazing and it was great to see first year
Maisy Hill (Bristol, Vt.) crush her first college race and get a PR. Tessa and I worked together the whole race which helped us get through a pretty tough course. It was a great way to kick off the season and I'm excited to see the team continue to keep improving."
