“I’m so incredibly impressed with the Waves’ performance at home today,” said head coach Ellie Monobe. “We knew the weather could play a factor, but the team went out and earned two new school records. The women are primed and ready for a strong midseason performance next week and I am so grateful for the opportunity to lead them as we head into the final chapter of the fall. Definitely a memorable day to wrap up my time at Raleigh Runnels.” The meet marked the final home meet for Monobe with the Waves.
