QUOTING HEAD COACH Michael Litzinger:
"Denver is a rapidly improving squad and will be ready for us. It was good to be in a truly competitive environment last weekend. UCSD raced us well, and our athletes responded. Some of our times were impressive, but we have a lot of work to do as it is a short week ahead of us."
