Post Meet Press:
"Today was a good day for the team", said sophomore
Adriana Nadeau (Londonderry, N.H.). "After a hard race last weekend I knew I didn't want to go out to fast and that I needed to be patient and then work my way up to the pace I wanted to stay at. With about two miles to go we knew I was in range for the record and could catch a few of the girls in front of me for good placement. I was very happy with the end of the season and am very excited to see how the rest of the team does tomorrow."
