"It was a good showing for us tonight," said Director/Head Coach Sue Parks. "The girls fought hard and kept competing the whole way."
Junior Kaitlyn St. Bernard (Newport, Mich.-Jefferson) led the way for EMU with a time of 17:41.40 to finish runner-up. For St. Bernard, her performance surpassed her 5000m run at the Golden Grizzlies Invite (April 10) by nearly 25 seconds (18:06.21). Sophomore teammate Sofia Ivanko followed quickly behind Bernard for bronze, crossing the finish-line in 17:41.81. Meanwhile, junior Olivia Chandler (Brighton, Mich.-Brighton) also posted a top-10 finish in the 5K, placing eighth in 17:57.47.
