WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Ephs displayed their tried and true packing strategy on Saturday, snagging second place in the Purple Valley Classic, the first home cross country meet of the season.
In the 6-kilometer varsity race, four Williams women secured places in the top 12, leading the team to finish with 55 points, ahead of last year’s Division III national champions, Middlebury College (69 points).
The team used the sunny skies and dry course conditions to their advantage as they established a solid standing among a strong field of competitors, from Division I, II and III and ranging from the Great Lakes to the mid-Atlantic and New England.
Captain Bret Scofield 2010 led the first pack of Ephs' to the finish in 22:51, good for sixth place, with a tight pack in step behind her. Jennifer Gossels 2013 and Meghan Shea 2011 finished right in stride in 22:53, cruising to seventh and eighth place, respectively. Lauren Goldstein-Kral 2012 finished 11th overall in 23:02.
Rounding out the top five scorers was Elly Teitsworth 2010 in 23:28, followed closely by Ariel Williams 2010 in 23:30 and Olivia Delia 2012 in 23:35.
In the 5-kilometer co-ed race, the women Harriers had a solid showing, with Olga Kondratjeva 2010 outrunning the female competition in 20:05, and Nora Mitchell 2010 running an impressive race for fourth place in 20:23.
The Ephs' will take a hiatus from racing next weekend to train through and rest up for Division I New Englands at Franklin Park in Boston on Oct. 10. |
