Coach Speak
We did some experimenting with some off events and found some hidden talents today," said Head Coach Cathleen Pruden. "It was fun to see some folks outside their comfort zone. While we might not ever use them there, Amy and Emme have some distance potential. We'll turn our focus back to the SCAC Championships this week as we gear up for Southwestern!"
