Weather: Warm, Comfortable

Team Place: 8/11

Notes:

Despite a bad case of shin-splints, Molly set the team pace by using a “pack” running strategy. In doing so, she helped pace the varsity team to an excellent two-mile split that set up some of the best times of the season. While she struggled in the last mile, it was her efforts in the first two miles that allowed the team to finish strong.
Aubree was one of those who finished strong – she led the team to the finish for the second consecutive meet with her best time of the season.
Kelsie continued her fantastic season with another course PR, this time knocking 2:06 off of her previous Vermilion best - in doing so, she set an overall 5K PR as well.
Kayleigh also set new Vermilion and 5K PR’s by shaving 1:22 off of her previous times.
Sheetal Kotha won the Open Race with a strong showing in the last half-mile to overtake the rest of the field.
Sam Kopack also impressed in the Open Race with a nice finish that saw her first ever top ten finish. She, too, set a course and an overall 5K PR.
Also setting overall 5K PR’s were Hannah Zapfe, Miranda, Nicole, and Lauren.
The girls improved their team 5K time for the fifth consecutive meet with a 113:12.
