Women's Cross Country | 10.05.2024
RESULTS
SALEM, Ore. – The top five runners for No. 15 LC State Women's Cross Country remained consistent on Saturday to help the Warriors place ninth at the Charles Bowles Willamette Invitational.
Grace Tiegs ran a personal-best time in the 5k to lead the squad.
"I thought our women looked really good today," Head Coach
Mike Collins said. "They did what they needed to do when it came to learning and racing against conference teams. Excited about the progress that we can hopefully make there, as well as when we race at home on a course that typically runs a little bit faster than this one. Hard to gauge how this might relate to a 6k which we will run in Nebraska, at conference and at nationals. Hopefully as races get longer, we will get better."
Tiegs led the Warrior women with a personal-best time of 18:35.5. She placed 35
th in the field, followed by the freshmen duo of
Lily Bennett in 54
th (18:51.9) and
Damaris Kibiwot in 60
th (18:56.2).
Junior
Camille Ussher was the fourth Warrior across the line in 73
rd (19:17.2) and
Abigail Shumaker was 82
nd (19:22.8) to round out the top five.
Grace McCormick finished 142
nd (20:26.9) and
Haileyann Johnson was 198
th (23:29.2).
No. 6 College of Idaho was the top NAIA team at the meet with a fourth-place team finish. LC State placed ahead of CCC opponents Eastern Oregon, Oregon Tech and Bushnell.
