“This was a really good opener for Corey, winning his heat and finishing 10th overall,” said head coach Mike Esposito. “He raced really well as did Josh and Jevin in the 3,000 and Neal in the 5,000. We know Neal can run stronger than he did today so we can really build on this for the rest of the season. We are really looking forward to having the entire team compete next weekend, which will give us a better idea of where we are this season.”
