Yeah, it's a smaller area and we're underdogs when compared with teams like Stanford, but that's OK. The people up there have a passion for running and I like the fact that, even though you compete in a smaller sport, everyone will know your name.

I'm so glad that race is over. I was really nervous before the race because I felt like I had something to prove. But thankfully, everything went well. I'm just trying to get prepare for the end of the season. This was a good start.
