“This day was a great one to compete and a great day to be an Otter,” said Fergus Falls Head Coach Derek Meyer.  “This course is a challenging one and can put you in your place if you’re not ready.  Our team came ready.  Jaden Miller turned in a great performance, taking over the race and executing his race plan.  All the guys had solid performances and should be proud of how they ran.  We will look forward to next week, traveling to Little Falls.  This course will also be the section course.  It will be an important preview for later in the season.”
