Coaches Notes:

           

EMU was the only non-NCAA Division 1 team to compete in the JMU Invitational and considering that the performance was excellent.  It’s hard for a young team to hold their composure and compete with Division 1 teams but this team did a great job of focusing on their races and competing.  We had some great performances and things should continue to gain momentum as the season continues.

 

We are looking forward to racing some of our new team members and getting some of our injured runners back so that we can score full teams on the men’s and the women’s sides.
