ACCORDING TO COACH SICKLER
"We had a really solid day in the running events for the Bears, we saw a number of PRs across the sprint and distance events. This early in the season it's exciting to see our hard work paying off, and they're really driven to use this week's momentum to carry into the rest of the competitions. We had really good energy from the team, supporting one another through each race, which I really believe contributes to our team's success. We're looking forward to putting in hard work this next week to prepare for the upcoming weeks races."
