Coach Taylor's Thoughts:
"Our men's team raced very well at the Great Lakes Challenge. They had great energy and were locked in for the full 8K. Ryan Lehman led the team well by placing tenth and lowering his personal best time to 26:05. Almost all of our guys hit personal bests for the year. We are racing our best at the end of the season and I'm excited to see what they are able to accomplish at conference. All Glory to God!"
