What They Are Saying
Wingate head coach Kevin Hennessy
 
"Another weekend, another great day of racing for our men and women. Our men stepped up in a big way again, getting the job done with lots of great racing all the way around and several season-best times as well. Our women had a tough fight with Catawba. They gave us good races and good competition."
 
"Our teams have once again shown how all the work and time that we've put in is continuing to add up. We are overcoming the adversity of the situation and learning some lessons along the way. Our teams have put themselves in a great position as we get ready for our midseason meet in Charlotte in a couple of weeks."
