COACHES CORNER:
"The Statesmen ran tough today and I'm really proud of how they finished," Head Coach Tyler Wilkie said. "We had seven guys go under the 30-minute mark, which is double the amount we had last season. This team is heading in the right direction with Jonathan and Ian leading us today. We are a young team with so much more room to grow. I'm looking forward to seeing what this group can do at NCAA Regionals in a couple weeks."

Hobart will run at the NCAA Niagara Regional Championships in Rochester November 12th.
