“I’m just so grateful for those guys. They're the whole reason I'm here, they're the reason I'm pushing, they're the reason I race like that. And damn, I just love them. I love them to death and I'm so proud of them.”

The redemption arc the whole division was watching.

In May, Ethan Gregg was DQ’d for a false start in the 5k final. In November, he won the D3 XC Individual National Title.

Gregg takes us through the aftermath of the DQ and the guilt he felt as he believe it affected UWL’s chances at a team title.

He spent the summer in Boulder living with guys from Cornell College and it helped him recover from the painful day. He used that DQ as positive motivation to not let it affect his training. He knew his job was to get fit to help his team in November.

While he was happy to win the individual title, it was hard to fully enjoy it as UWL lost by just one point for the team title.

As always, Ethan brings great perspective on how much the team means to him and the motivation he derives from them.
