Crossing the Line

Alyssa Keich and Sarah Grow pushed each other to top 25 finishes with Keich coming home in 20:28.42 (19th) and Grow following with a time of 20:32.31 (21st). Rebecca Sitler crossed the line 25th thanks to her time of 20:36.67.

What They're Saying…
"While fourth might not sound exciting, this was an excellent outing for our team and I'm excited about what we can do this year," said LVC head coach James O'Brien '07. "Kelsey Patrck was phenomenal in breaking the course record, what a start to her senior year." 

"Both Alyssa Keich and Sarah Grow ran great as our no. 2/3 combo but I was really impressed with Rebecca Sitler and Katrina Zicot finishing in our top five for the first time in their careers," O'Brien continued. "They both ran fantastic races. Across the board we looked good but it was nice to see freshmen Hannah Kramlik, Mackenzie Lausch, and Hannah Kurek run so well in their debuts."

Next Up
O'Brien will determine if Patrick is ready to head to Penn State University for the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational on Friday night, Sept. 11. As a team, LVC will be back on the course Saturday morning, Sept. 12 at the Cougar Classic hosted by Misericordia.
