Both Shanna Swanson and Neila Thomas did well on the difficult course that runs along the dike in Whitney Point. The variety of elevation on the course challenges even the best runners but was no problem for both Swanson (22:22) and Thomas (25:57).

The team travels to Marathon on October 25th for IACs.
