WENDER'S WORDS
"It was a great day at UConn," head coach Mickey Wender said. "We raced hard and showed a lot of heart. It was very exciting to watch us come down to the last relay and come away with the win. I was very proud of our senior leadership, especially from captain Evin Rude. This is a great confidence boost as we head into the Terrier Invitational and the Star Meet."
