THOUGHTS FROM COACH OLSON
"Seattle Pacific put on a fantastic meet on an amazing course. It was a great experience for our team to be able to go out there and compete today. Adversity is the best teacher and we are fortunate for the opportunity to learn from an experience in a field as deep as today's."

The Cougars will next compete in the CCAA Championships on Nov. 5 hosted by Cal State Monterey Bay at Palo Corona Cross Country trail.
