Hornet cross country coach Chris Chichester was pleased with the effort of his runners, but disappointed that the Hornets couldn't post a team score.  "We had to scratch several athletes from the lineup last minute unfortunately, but our remaining runners' performances today were fantastic.  Nate and Wilson both ran their fastest times on an 8k course, despite the powerful wind.  I'm looking forward to add some new recruits next season and watch the hard work of our returning runners led by Captain, Nathan Moore continue to translate into faster times and more competitive placing."

The Hornets concluded the season, and will look to build to a full, competitive lineup next fall.
