Cheresa Bouley placed 13th for the Huskies running a 23:22 6k. Not far behind, Iris Guider placed 19th for the Huskies with a 23:32 time.

Head cross country coach Sam Kettenhofen praised the team effort, “It was nice to get on the 6K distance and build our confidence and experience moving into the rest of the season.” Kettenhofen said, “I have been very pleased with how training has been going, so it was nice to see that work show up in a competition.”
