Quotables

"That's as complete a team race as we can run from the men," said head coach Pat McCurry. "Without Brian today and with Alex Thompson coming off illness, what we did from the gun to the line was nearly flawless. We've got a bunch of racers."
"The women were so much more confident and assertive today," said McCurry. "They put themselves in the race and were the aggressors in the middle. Yasmin was phenomenal in her first race in a long, long while."
