“Honestly, it’s just a long time coming. This year, it’s definitely been amazing so far. Both exhibition games were great, finally being able to get out there with my teammates. Finally being able to get the ends to all the means, with all of the hard work we’ve been putting in at practice.”

Sophomore runner Jordan White on qualifying for the NCAA Championships:

“My focus on Saturday was to run the best that I could in order to help the team,” said White. “Although we did not qualify as a team I am very excited to be representing Vanderbilt as an individual qualifier. I believe that the experience of running this race will allow me to take on a greater leadership role as we build upon this past season and pursue an NCAA National bid next fall.”
