QUOTEABLES – Head Coach Robert Weber
"This is our final race of the season, and we're hoping for some strong performances and progressions to the "A" finals, but the field at Dad Vail is highly competitive. We have a young team that's come a long way this season, and this should be a great culminating event for us."
