"The team shirts we wore today said RESILIENT," head coach
Anne Goodman James said. "That's the thought that drives us during this crazy season. Today being the second day of tough racing in a row, definitely forced us to be physically and mentally resilient. We are developing a toughness that will give us results beyond our limited preparation when we get to the
SCAC Championships. I like the way our team just loves to race, and the excitement that they show for their teammates."
