The Princeton Invite was an important step in the right direction for the Huskies. After almost two weeks since its last meet, UConn is looking forward to the challenge ahead. Head Coach Lindsay Crevoiserat said, "The team is ready for conference and the pieces are coming together. I think it's going to be a good day for us."
Crevoiserat was pleased with the improvements the team has made over the last few weeks. "We have Mia up front who has been consistently up front and running great as our leader," she said. "Randi Burr and Danielle Jordan both have been showing more confidence each race and are ready to do something big."
"We have a very young and solid group that really just gets better and better each race as they put more mileage on. I know the team is pretty excited to see what they can do which shows me that they are ready mentally and physically."
