Coach's Corner - Comments from Cortland Men's and Women's Head Coach Steve Patrick following the regional:

Maddie Ciuffetelli and Gabby Moncada had outstanding runs today, and we're really pleased about the women's team moving in the right direction.  We're ahead of where we were a year ago, and had one of the smallest spreads of any program competing today.  Since we should return everybody to the line up for next year, there's a bright future ahead!

The men's team had either pretty strong runs or not very good efforts, so we unfortunately didn't have the team result we were expecting.  We're excited as we move into the track season we're we competed well last year and are looking to keep moving forward.  We also want to thank our seniors Grant Boyd and Chris Thorpe for their years of dedication and leadership.
