THOUGHTS FROM COACH ANDY YOUNG
• On the team's plan following the three-week layoff: "Today we were just looking to see what the Bloomsburg course looked like. We definitely wanted to see where we were competitively as well after a few weeks of heavy training."
• On the development of Rijo-Cedeno: "Yoangelys had a very good race and I think she is getting close to having a big break through. She also is starting to find a stronger competitive edge which is exciting to see."
NOTES
• A total of 11 Marauders competed in the race.
UP NEXT
• Millersville is returns to action on Saturday, Oct. 19 in the Gettysburg Invitational.
