Coach's Corner

"We were very pleased with the meet. We always train through Little 3 and use it more as a measuring stick to see where everyone's raw fitness is at. As we have a good number of freshmen on the teams, our goals were to first, make sure the packs communicated and worked together; and second, to take a measured approach to the race so we could get an accurate read on what they can produce. We were exceptionally happy with our freshmen class overall as they raced with a level of composure you wouldn't think they would have had after only two weeks at the collegiate level. We knew we brought in seven very special athletes, but it's a great bonus to see how quickly they've meshed with the returners and how proud they are to represent Niagara." - Head Coach Christine Kloiber
