"I think Alex Litzsinger and Tylee Newman both did really well on the women's side as our top finishers as well as Kyle McKenna for the men. As a team, we showed progress from our home meet to this mee,t and that is what we try to do by competing every other week. We will continue to train to get better and see what happens," said veteran Aggie head coach Gregg Gensel."
