Leading the way for the Cardinals once again was Rylee Penn, who crossed the finish line with a time of 20:45.2 over the challenging 6K course. Although she narrowly missed out on All-Region honors, her consistent performance throughout the season has been commendable. Lexie Paszkiewicz also had a standout race, clocking a time of 21:05.6 to secure a 56th-place finish. This marked a significant improvement from her regional performance in 2022, as she finished over two minutes faster and nearly 100 spots higher.

The women’s team will kick off the action with a 6,000-meter race at 11:00 a.m. EDT, followed by the men’s 10,000-meter race at noon EDT. Assistant coach Hakon DeVries is hoping for a strong performance from the teams, following a disappointing showing at the conference championship meet.
