When asked about the meet, distance coach Jordan Garman said, "Sullivan and Haid both had great opening runs and finished 1 and 2 respectively, feeling like they could do more which was great. This was Bodrato's first race in a year, and all things considered, she did well. Weiler and Dix both had great races and managed to rebound very nicely from some slower middle laps. We are happy to have Haney healthy and see her run right about where I thought she should be. Moss-Herbert and Moss both made good efforts, and I am confident they will have a great improvement this season."

The Dolphins will head back to Gainesville, FL to compete in the Alachua County Invitational on Jan. 26-27.
