Horowitz led Duke to a third-place finish. Heading in to the meet, they were favored to win the national title... |
...but a few of Duke's runners weren't as far up as they and others expected them to be. |
Arianna Lambie of Stanford finished eighth in 19:59.1 and led her team to a surprise victory. |
We didn't see it with our own eyes, but a reliable source told us that Lynn Jennings, who, like Lambie, is an alumna of The Bromfield School in MA, was at the meet, cheering for Lambie. |
Christine Bolf (right) of CU and Keira Carlstrom of American University both passed Lambie just before the finish line. |

Princeton's Cack Ferrell, a senior, finished 10th in 20:03.1. |
Cassie Hunt (leading Katie Gwyther), a junior at Illinois, finished 11th in 20:05.0. |

If there were a best newcomer of the year (to the top of the NCAA XC ranks), she would have earned it. She finished 12th in 20:05.5. |
Arizona's Amy Hastings, a senior, finished 13th in 20:09.0. |
Washington State's Haley Paul (14th, 20:11.9) leads Notre Dame's Molly Huddle (15th, 20:13.0). |
Huddle leads UCLA's Ashley Caldwell (16th, 20:13.6) and Wake Forest's Annie Bersagel (17th, 20:14.0). |
Bersagel is a senior at Wake Forest. |
