MINNEAPOLIS -- The University of Minnesota cross country programs took on Wisconsin's Nuttycombe Invitational this Friday, with the women bringing home a fourth place team finish and the men taking 15th.
"Both teams really did great today," said head coach Sarah Hopkins. "It's such a weird feel because this meet is so stacked, that being top-20 on either side is really great. Overall, I think the women didn't need to do as much today, and they ran great and finished right where we thought they would be. The men had a lot to accomplish today, and they absolutely did. That was great to see."
WOMEN
Led by sixth place finisher Bethany Hasz (20:09.5), the Gopher women put together a solid performance in the women's Championship six-kilometer race to finish fourth overall with 188 team points.
Behind Hasz were two other Gophers who managed to claim a top-15 spot, those being Abby Kohut-Jackson in 10th (20:19.1) and Megan Hasz in 14th (20:22.7). Following the top-three, Anastasia Korzenowski earned 48th in a time of 20:54.2, while Jaycie Thomsen (112th), Emma Atkinson (200th) and Tate Sweeney (216th) rounded out the scoring for the Maroon and Gold.
West Virginia's Ceili McCabe claimed the top spot of the race in a time of 19:57.4, and No. 3 New Mexico took home the top team finish with 93 team points. No. 1 NC State and No. 2 BYU finished second and third in the team standings, respectively.
In the morning's "B" race, the women finished fifth overall with 130 points. Brianne Brewster led the way with a 25th place finish for the Maroon and Gold in a time of 21:56.0, followed by Bit Klecker in 45th (22:24.3), Taylor Kreitinger in 52nd (22:37.9), Liesl Paulsen in 60th (22:49.2) and Libby Halbmaier in 73rd (23:11.9).
MEN
The Gopher men had a strong showing Friday as well, earning a 15th place team finish (416 points) and topping five nationally ranked teams in the process.
Alec Basten led the way throughout for the Maroon and Gold, finishing 12th in a time of 23:37.7 and finishing as the third-fastest Big Ten competitor of the pack. Matt Wilkinson came in next for the Gophers in 83rd (24:19.9), followed by Jack Manderscheid in 103rd (24:31.8), Ethan Cannon in 109th (24:34.5) and Owen Hoeft in 113th (24:35.8). Rounding out the scoring for Minnesota were Khalid Hussein in 131st (24:42.2) and Eli Hoeft in 192nd (25:29.7).
Wesley Kiptoo earned the top finish in the men's Championship race in a time of 23:11.2, helping boost No. 6 Iowa State to the team title with 88 points. No. 3 Stanford (104 points) and No. 12 Tulsa (160) rounded out the top three teams.
In the men's "B" race, the Gophers were led by 47th place finisher Seth Eliason in a time of 25:43.0. Emmet Anderson and Leo Goodman, both of whom ran unattached, took 70th (26:14.4) and 82nd (26:40.6) for Minnesota, respectively, and Shuayb Hussein claimed the final spot in 90th (27:42.1).
