Women: Lady Owls finish second
Published on September 18, 2007 by The Sentinel
Junior Erin Sutton led the women’s cross country team to a second
place finish against a field of strong competitors at the 35th Annual
Georgia State Invitational.
For the first time this season the Lady Owls fell short of a first place victory with a total score of 41 points to land in second place. Host Georgia State took first place with 23 points, South Florida finished with 86 points for third place and Mercer came in fourth with 88 points.
Sutton crossed the finish line in sixth place with a time of 19:16.25 in the 5k race. Freshman Mackenzie Howe followed right behind Sutton finishing in seventh with a time of 19:21.88. Kristen Gibson finished in 13th place (20:13.00), while Caitlin German finished 19th (20:33.35) and Britany Reilly finished 22nd.
Soiban Wolcott completed the 5k course with a time of 20:45.69 and Lorena Jamie rounded out the roster for KSU as she completed the race with a time of 21:11.32.
“Our Women took it to the limit,” said head coach Stan Sims. “Georgia State is tough squad and we just couldn’t pull it off. Still I know the ladies gave this course everything they had and I’m proud of them.”
The Lady Owls will be back in action Saturday as they travel to Athens to participate in the 2007 Bulldog Stampede.
