ELON, N.C. - The College of Charleston women's cross country team turned in its best finish at the CAA Championships in nearly a decade Friday when they placed fifth in a field of 13 teams.
Caroline Himstreet led the way by finishing 21st and third among freshmen with a 6k time of 21:44.1 that moved her into seventh in school history. Himstreet also led Charleston at the Phoenix Invitational on the same course two weeks ago.
Three other Charleston women finished in the top quarter among a total of 119 runners, including Savannah Stoutt (28th, 22:11.6), Sophia Brown (30th, 22:17.6) and Cayden Crismon (32nd, 22:21.9). Jeorgi Gavalas was the second Cougar freshman to score, finishing 43rd in 22:37.1.
The fifth-place showing was the best for the women's team since taking fourth in 2015. The Cougars also finished fifth in 2013, their first year in the CAA.
The men took seventh place with 214 points and were led by Ben Ashmore in 48th place with an 8k time of 26:58.1.
Rob DiMedio was the No. 2 runner for Charleston with his time of 27:15.8 placing him 54th, two spots ahead of Jackson Reid who crossed in 27:20.2. Rounding out the men's scorers were Evan Mitchell (59th, 27:28.3) and Dylan McTigue (62nd, 27:31.0).
The Cougars wrap up their 2024 season on November 15 at the NCAA Southeast Regional in Rock Hill, S.C.
