She was closely followed by freshman Rose Coats in 46th, and graduate student Anna Coffin in 47th. This was a gritty performance with all three ladies competing in the top of the pack.

Coach's Comments:
 
"This was a good steppingstone for our squad cracking the top ten of a very competitive conference. As a team the group put themselves in a strong position and kept moving up throughout the race."
