Finishing close behind in 20th through 23rd place were freshman Sarafina McKeown (30:46), sophomore Madison Wallace (31:17), sophomore Kendall Presley (31:27) and junior Ashlei Manion (32:15). Junior Rachel Edwards (33:01) rounded out the scoring for the Lady Redbirds in 29th place.

"Our girls ran well," said Hampleman. "We have to get better as a team and continue to make improvements each week."

"The boys ran a solid race," said Hampleman. "Dylan ran the way he is capable and both Justin and Jacob had nice times as well."
