“In this race, I tell the kids to go out there and have some fun,” said Fairfield Head Coach Raymond Friend after the race. “But with these kids, competition is always on their minds. Which for me is really nice. No matter what I say or yell to them, nothing motivates them more than competition. And with the post season right around the corner, there’s definitely competition. We have around 11 guys fighting every day for those seven post season spots.

“The girls have just been doing great. I’m really hoping we can finish strong and win the league this year. That’s been our goal all year and these girls have put a lot of work into accomplishing that. They have gotten better and better each race and that’s fun for a coach to see. Ciara once again had an outstanding race today. My next three, Megan Gragg, Chloe Barber and Alexis Swisher have been getting much better and we just need a good fifth runner and I’m hoping Hailey Lowe works her way into that spot.

“I also want to thank the community for all the help with all the race. I don’t do all this myself. A lot of people put a lot of work into this. And also want to thank the community for coming out and making this event what it is every year.”
