MileSplit Michigan tracked down Coach Richardson following Breen's victory to gain some further insight on the team:
"This is a great group of girls that fight for each other. They are athletes that anyone would be lucky to coach. They have fun, but don't take themselves too seriously. However, when it's time to go to work - they are tenacious!"
Troy senior, Megan Worrel ran a strong anchor leg to seal the win for Breen.
