QUOTABLE

Head coach Lauren Floris said: "I'm very pleased with how our teams competed today. On the women's side we had a lot of personal bests, and as a team the ladies kept improving their score each KM throughout the race. Of our seven men racing, five were covering the distance for the first time and everyone ran smart races and ran well. Again, our top-5 guys notched it and improved their spot on Pepperdine's all-time list! Overall, today was a great day for the Waves!"
