"We had a great opportunity to compete this morning against a couple of our key CCAC rivals. Some of our runners met the challenge today but we need that response from our entire team, every time we compete," said Head Coach Joel Popenfoose.
The Eagles compete next on October 26th at the NAIA Seminole Valley Stampede in Cedar Rapids, IA.
