Cougar Women
• Cate Ambrose posted a time of 17:50.38 in the 5k race to finish 11th in a field of 101 runners and move up from sixth to fifth in school history.
• Kristen Cherry cracked the Top 10 with a time of 17:59.56 and now ranks eighth in the Cougar record book. Cherry finished 13th on Friday.
• Rhian Purves (23rd, 18:26.75), Emily Dorony (25th, 18:29.29) and Sophia Brown (30th, 18:41.61) rounded out the Cougar scorers.
• Dorony established a 5k PR as did Morgan Summey (18:48.89) and Isabel Muehleman (19:21.73).
• Also competing for the women were Shannon Smith (20:01.26), Delaney O'Sullivan (20:54.46) and Grace McGrew (21:45.48).
Cougar Men

• Dylan McTigue just missed a spot in the top five after crossing in 29:02.89, followed by Nick Rienzo (29:43.03) and Josh Keifer (31:17.59).
Quoting Head Coach Amy Seago on the Women's Race
"I thought the women executed pretty well today. This course traditionally goes out fast. Some years that scares us, and we aren't mentally prepared for it. I was pleased with how we responded in that regard. I'm also pleased with the teamwork in our packs. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I think we took a positive step forward today."
Quoting Assistant Coach Chris Bailey on the Men's Race
"Our men did a great job in packing up and running as a team. Once we can get everyone healthy, I think we'll see our packs move up further in the field."
Up Next
The Cougars are off next weekend before competing in the Chanticleer Challenge on Oct. 1 in Conway, S.C.
