Jane Cummins turned in what head coach Jim Helton termed "a huge personal best," racing to 15th overall in 18:45...a 60-second improvement.

"We had several girls tripped on the course, but still came close to their personal bests," said Helton and he listed the girls: McKenzie Jones (70th), season-best 20:59, Ainsley Turkington (95th) 21:45, Isabella Harris (107) 22:02, and Bella Redenius (148) 23:38.
