“It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the end of the regular season. These seniors have invested so much into this program, and their commitment means a lot. They’ve helped build the culture we have today, and their leadership shows in the way they work, compete, and support their teammates. We’re proud of what they’ve accomplished, but we’re also excited that they still have championship racing ahead of them,” said Witkowski.

“The biggest thing right now is that the kids are ready,” said Witkowski.  “We’ve continued to practice hard right through this meet, and the team is running well. We’re seeing the commitment and the confidence we want at this point in the season. Now it’s about staying healthy, trusting our training, competing for one another, and being ready when championship racing begins.”
