QUOTABLES

St. Cloud State Cross Country Head Coach Sam Kettenhofen

"I first want to thank Brad Deyak from Wapicada Golf Club for having us out there to host the Waxlax Invitational!"

"It was a great day to race. The weather was nice, and the competition was excellent. Being able to host a bunch of conference schools prior to the Championships is a great preview for the meet in a few weeks."

"I was happy with how our team ran. It's the best we have raced so far this season and I think there is still room to grow. Definitely excited to see what this group can do in a few weeks down in Wayne, Nebraska."
