HEAR FROM HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT
“The Big Ten Invitational provides good crossover between Big Ten schools and invitees. This weekend will allow our women to race against lots of talented teams and begin to prepare for the Big Ten Championship. We are going to continue to build off of our previous performances and perform better in the areas that we identified we could improve at. We are looking for our athletes to get faster as they compete and continue to push their limits. We are excited to see what the expanded Big Ten will look like and it will be a great weekend of racing! Go Hawks!”
