NOTES & QUOTES 
"The ECAC Winter Championships are an important measure as to the teams progress during the first semester. It has given us a good indication that the hard work is paying off. Many season best times, personal best times and school records are the reward for the commitment the team has made to training during the fall. The results will serve as a reminder to the team to continue working hard with the MAAC Championships in sight."
