Assistant Coach (Distance) Chris Solinsky: “It’s SEC week. If you need a pump up speech to be ready for it, you came to the wrong place. Our kids are ready and rested. I’m looking forward to seeing the men take another step forward this year as they have looked strong. The women’s squad has had some good learning opportunities this season and I’m looking forward to seeing those lessons sorted out at the meet. The end of the year is when the Gators show up. That’s what we are built for and train for.”
