STANDISH, ME - Lyndon State College of Vermont arrived late due
to bus troubles, but it didn't seem to affect their women's squad
who finished with 21 points and first place in the Runnin' Monks XC
Invitational on Saturday.
The Hornets placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th, but the real story
of the race was St. Joe's sophomore co-captain Sarah Willis, who
finished in 1st place. Willis pulled away from the pack midway
through the 5k race and finished in a convincing 20:59, 17 seconds
ahead of 2nd place runner Betsy Markinson.
Also running well for St. Joe's and helping the team to a second
place finish was co-captain Aubrey Gray (9th) and Jasmine Smith
(10th).
Next in was a pack of three Monks, Suzanne Connelly (16th),
Michelle Sanborn (17th), and Jess Desrosiers (18th).
"Sarah is starting to run with the confidence and determination she
is capable of," said Coach Dann.
