Cross Country: Saints post repeat performance
September 13, 2008
Yakima, WA – Saint Martin’s John Riak and Josiah
Price took first and second on the men’s side for the second week in a
row while Joscelyn Minton again finished second for the women at the
2008 Apple Ridge Run Invitational hosted by Central Washington
University.
Riak earned his 14th collegiate victory in a time of
25:52.00, 29 seconds ahead of teammate Price who finished with a time of
26:21.00. The two led the Saints to a second place finish behind
nationally ranked Western Washington University.
“We were without a runner this weekend to score some
points for us,” said head coach Julie Sullivan, “so the team result for
the men was even more exciting.”
Minton ran a time of 23:46.00 to finish just behind
Sarah Porter of WWU. Minton made a move on the final climb of the day to
go ahead of former national qualifier Marcie Mullen of CWU.
Nick Harvey ran his best collegiate race finishing
in 12th with a time of 27:49.00 with teammate Spencer Hunt running the
same time.
Annie Laweryson took 11th in a time of 24:47.00
while Krinda Carlson ran a 25:44.00 to finish 22nd. Helen Camden’s time
of 26:10.00 put her in 24th.
The Saints head to Seattle next Saturday to take
part in the UW Sundodger Meet.
