VMI Director of Cross Country Zack Scott
"Freshman Jillian Sisk led our women's team again followed by Gretal Shank. It was a tough day for our young women, but we fought, did not quit on ourselves and competed to the best of our ability. We will use the results to adjust training and be better for our next race at South Carolina Upstate."
