Christensen’s Corner
“We were a little mixed this weekend. The split squad was a little different and we faced some tough competition in Notre Dame and Michigan State,” said head coach Josh Christensen. “In some places we handled that well, in others we need to get better. It’s all continued learning and growth opportunities for our program though.”
Christensen also noted that it is time to focus on conference, “Now, we’re at that point where it’s time to rest and sharpen up for conference. We’ve been very consistent with our training and racing all year, so I’m excited to see what this group can do, as we continue to make big strides as a program.”
