Quote from Director of Track & Field/Cross Country Matt Logan:
"Most of these women were either coming off injury or are middle distance ladies who were competing just for some extra work. Julia is working her way back after being our number 1 runner last year. I expect her to keep improving. I also thought Thaman competed hard and I think she has a really bright future."
