Freshman Caitlan Ebner finished first for the Vikings with a time of 21:22. Ebner, whose time was good for 148th overall, now has led CSU in each of the team's five meets.
Junior Christina Swierz was next for the Vikings with a season-best time of 22:13. Her previous best was 23:02 at the season-opening Bill Sudeck Invitational on Sept. 2. Freshman Colleen Conway (22:20) was third for the Vikings and senior Sherri Douglas was fourth (23:05).
"Christine had a very fast run today," head coach Joe Jaketic said. "She's been out with the softball team for the last few meets and it was good to see her run so well."
Sophomore Madeline Singer, who has been in the team's top three in every meet this season, clocked in at 23:24 to finish fifth on the team. Sophomore Audrey Piotrowski, who had not competed in a meet since the Sudeck Invitational because of injury, ran a 23:37, and sophomore Melisa Mazanec (24:21) rounded out the Viking lineup.
"It was good for our team to run in that meet against some very tough competition. We now have a better idea of where we need to be to compete."
The Vikings' next meet is on Saturday, Oct. 14 at the Falcon Invitational in
