Head Coach Glenn Putyrae Said
"This morning was a great opportunity to race in front of our home crowd who really gave us a great boost. All our crews have been training at a high level and buying into the direction we are going as a team. There is a lot you can learn through racing and the lessons we learn will shape who we become as a team. We are really proud of the work we are doing and look forward to continuing to improve."
