QUOTES
Mizzou Head Coach Marc Burns… "We are thrilled with our two all-region finishers with Sarah and Mitchell finishing among the top 25. Both teams did a great job of getting out and giving themselves a chance to finish in the top 5. We came up a little short of our team goals today but we are really proud of how they battled out there in tough conditions. The season might be over but the future is bright for this program."
