THOUGHTS FROM COACH OLSON
"Today was a good day for the Cougars. On both sides, there were tons of lifetime bests, and also pieces that we can continue to nudge forward. It was a great challenge and learning experience, and we look forward to lining up again on our home course next week."

WHAT'S NEXT
CSUSM will next host the Cougar Challenge on Sept. 28 at Mangrum Track & Field.
