Head Coach Kim Chavers
"As a first-year program, we are continuing to grow with every practice and every race. The momentum we built at the Knecht Cup showed what this team is capable of and where we want to go as a program. The NYS Collegiate Championships are another opportunity for us to take a step forward, continue building our identity, and represent UAlbany with pride. Our athletes are hungry, focused, and ready to rise to the challenge as they see other programs here in New York for the first time."
