CATCHING UP WITH COACH RILEY:
"Today was a tough run for our men in a competitive field. We know what we need to work on, and we're ready for a few weeks of good training to get ready for Bronco. We had a solid dsy on the women's side in an equally competitive field. Ruby ran tough against some of the top women in the country, and Anna and Baneet had strong days as well. 


UP NEXT:
The Dons will be out of action for the rest of the month, but will return to competition for the Bronco Invitational in Sunnyvale, Calif. hosted by Santa Clara. Following the invitational, USF will then turn their attention to the WCC Championships at the end of October.
