HEAD COACH SERGIO LOPEZ MIRO
"We are very excited to go to the Ohio State Invitational as a team. It's the first time that a lot of these kids are going to suit up. I'm excited to see where they are. I think with the way we have been training and practicing, we are going to do very well. This is going to be a test of what type of team we have. We'll see not only how they race, but how they come together to cheer for, and support one another in a championship environment. It is going to be a good, intense three days. It is going to help our team prepare for the ACC and NCAA championships. Overall, I am excited for the weekend and to see what our Hokies can do.
