Coach Taylor's Thoughts:
"Our women had a strong performance at the Great Lakes Challenge. They ran confident and executed the race plan. We were able to upset three teams in the top 25 poll. Our girls were led by Tammy Liplin who ran a personal best time of 18:39. Five of our top six girls were able to hit personal bests today. This race was also our second fastest team time in program history for the 5K. Happy to see their hard work paying off. All the Glory to God!"
