What Was Said:
"It was good to see our team race against one of the strongest programs in our conference," stated Head Coach Tony Marleneanu Saturday evening." Rhodes has a great team this year and it was a good test for us to see where we stand. We have had quite a few life time bests which is great for this time in season. We are constantly improving, which makes me confident that our 3rd Hendrix Invite in two weeks it is going to be pretty quick. There is still room for improvement on the turns, so will make sure we will spend some time on that. Again, we did great and I am proud the way we raced today."
