Jackets Cross Country Coach Mark Snead stated, "I always enjoy hosting this meet to start the season.  It is a strong field and is always a good gauge of where we stand as the season begins.  Our teams did really well.  They set good times to start the season and now know that the hard work they put in at practice pays off.  We will enjoy this good start and hit the trail to work on improving our times at our next week.  I am really proud of this group so far."
