"That was a rough outing for the opening meet of the season for our top squad. We were not race sharp. This was a quality meet with good nationally ranked teams who came off the start line hard and fast and we did not respond very well to the torrid early pace which put us is a hole early in the race. The good news is that we can correct the mistakes we made out there today over the next month."
-Head Coach Mick Byrne
