Head Coach Grant Lofdahl reflected on the performance saying "The race went out extremely fast and our women went with it," adding that while they gave their best effort despite challenging conditions throughout much or all parts along course route towards end goal line markers...a tough second half ultimately left them unable to capitalize fully upon initial momentum gained earlier during competition day itself before things started getting harder again later down road when fatigue set into muscle groups used heavily here such as legs specifically due not only running long distances but also maintaining pace over varied terrain types encountered too often perhaps causing some minor injuries potentially affecting results negatively overall anyway! However despite these setbacks there were positive aspects like Reagan mixing up well against better runners nationwide plus Taylor & Emily showing toughness needed succeed even if outcome wasn't ideal given circumstances surrounding event schedule leading up until now prior next weekend's big meet planned ahead October twelfth Lewis Crossover Invitational awaits eager participants ready showcase talents once more soon enough after taking valuable lessons learned forward today...
