FROM COACH FOWLER
"Another day of brutal race conditions for us at Lake Anna. I could not be more proud of my team for how they powered through more cold, windy, and rainy conditions. The women's team, lead today by Senior
Jana Millat's 1st place finish, will bring home another Olympic Distance non-draft conference championship title to QU. Following Jana's overall win, the day was sealed with our 2nd and 3rd place freshman punch by
Clare Dasso and
Anna Besenyei, followed by senior,
Emma Teneza, in 5th to round out our scorers.
The men, lead today by Freshman Jeremy "Lightning" Maclean's 1st place finish, had a hard fought second place being edge out of first by 1 point to Wingate. We always enjoy racing our friends from down the road. A rising tide raises all ships and the men are ready to get back to work. There's still a lot to race for in terms of overall conference standings and we look forward to toeing the line again next weekend at the MACTC Draft Legal Championships."
WHAT'S NEXT?
The Royals will head to Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia for the MACTC Champioship Draft Legal Sprint Triathlon on Saturday, October 14.
