On the women's race
"Both teams ran well, our girls getting 1-2 in the race was really outstanding. I was a little disappointed to lose to Navy but it was a great performance for our first meet with all of our top runners. Navy is tough to beat on their home course.
On the men's race
"The men's meet was very good as well. Eastern Kentucky is very strong, Navy is ranked ranked highly in the region and Louisville, who we beat, was ranked top 25 in the country. It was a very competitive meet and great results for us.
