Last Time Out: Fall Finale and Rocky's Run
Nick Rink paced a 1-2-3 finish for the Minnesota men at the St. John's Fall Finale last Friday as the redshirt junior earned his first career win and gave the Gophers their 13th-straight champion in the men's eight-kilometer race in Collegeville, dating back to 2007.
Meanwhile, Libby Halbmaier led the way as the women's champion when the Gophers hosted Rocky's Run at Les Bolstad Course last weekend. Halbmaier posted a winning time of 23:03 as she earned her second finish as Minnesota's top runner this season and her third collegiate victory of her career, leading 81 total finishers in the open six-kilometer race.
