Cortland State won the competition with three runners in the top 15, including a pair in the top ten. Ursinus senior, Christa Johnson, crossed the finish line in 21:41 to win the race.
F&M’s Kelly Farrelly ran a 24:40 for 119th place and shaved almost a minute of her mark run at last year’s Paul Short. Megan Hunter crossed at 24:43 and Amy Jordan followed her over the line six seconds later for 121st and 128th places, respectively. Jenna Bush finished 130th at 24:56.
