R-L:
Brooke Lademan leads Aurora Scott and Carlene Mayfield shortly after
the 800 mark.
|
Approaching
the halfway point of the race (near the end of the first loop),
Aislinn Ryan...
|
...continued
to push the pace, with Marie Lawrence running in second place.
|
Ryan
had used a similarly aggressive strategy when she won the Great
American XC Festival...
|
...early
in the season. But Marie Lawrence (#41) and Ramsey Kavan (#31) remained
close as they...
|
|
|
|
|
|
...approached
halfway. Kavan dominated the Nike Team Nationals race one week earlier.
|
Zoe
Nelson (left) and Brittany Tinsley run in fourth and fifth.
|
Whitney
Anderson runs in sixth place.
|
Jenny
Barringer runs in seventh place.
|
Brie
Felnagle runs in eighth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nicole
Blood runs in ninth.
|
L-R:
Melissa Dewey, Lindsey Ferguson, and Madeline McKeever.
|
The
weather was quite warm at the time of the race...
|
...probably
too warm for those from cooler climates. The heat seemed to...
|
...take
a toll on quite a few of the runners, but others did not seem to
be bothered by it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dewey
and Ferguson lead a large group of runners.
|
Katelyn
Kaltenbach follows Ferguson.
|
Nichole
Lister leads Elizabeth Yetzer.
|
Yetzer
ran a smart race here and passed many of her competitors in the
second half.
|
Keara
Sammons leads Hannah Davidson.
