Cross country places in top 20
The Utah State men’s cross country team finished 13th and the women 14th at the Bill Dellinger Invitational in Eugene, Ore.
Coach Greg Gensel said, “The team ran pretty good against good competition.” The men were led by junior Seth Wold, who finished 33rd in the 8,000-meter race with a time of 24:03. Sophomore Jason Holt also finished strong with a time of 24:52 putting him in 68th place.
Senior Stacie Dorius led the women with a time of 21:33 in the 6,000-meter race. Senior Amy Egan finished 66th with a time of 21:44, and shortly behind her was junior Caroline Berry with a time of 21:49, placing her in 73rd place.
The University of Oregon was able to take advantage of being at home and placing first in both the men and women’s races.
“We were looking for improvement, and that’s what we got,” Gensel said. “They all ran real good.” Utah State’s next meet will be the NCAA prenationals in Terre Haute, Ind., for both the men and the women.
