A great job by everyone.  I'm proud of the competitive spirit you displayed today.
You raced with great intelligence, desire, and pride.  Clearly we were the team that
most wanted to win today.  We were also the team that was best prepared to win.
The real story of the meet is illustrated below with evolution of the placings of our
top 5 runners as the race progressed:
Place at 1M 2M 4km 5km
BR 1 1 1 1
MS 9 8 6 5
BS 8 9 8 6
AZ 53 19 18 11
RZ 44 25 22 18
115 62 55 41
I'm please with the complete team effort today.  If we replace Rachel with Becki we still tie Toledo.
A few historical notes:  Beata is our second MAC champion and she joins Ada as our only
two-time first team All MAC runner.  Morgan and Ada made All MAC teams for the third time.
Only Bobbie Hardbarger matches that accomplishment.  Our team score of 41 points is the lowest
ever in a 12-team MAC Championship.
