WORDS FROM MILES FOWLER
"Before this race, I told the ladies all we had to do was show up and be ourselves and the results would take care of themselves. We showed up, raced for each other, and the result took care of itself.
 
This is a huge win for our program and sets up positive momentum heading into nationals in two weeks.
 
Go Royals!"
