"Overall, Serena (Martinez) had a great day with a big PR," said coach Matt Esche. "I was very excited to see her roll. As a team, we will go back to the drawing board. Without question, we are a better team than we showed. We wait two weeks before we race again and six weeks until the conference meet. We will be ready."
