"Overall we had a really solid day. We were well prepared. The group that has looked sharp in practice really came and executed well today. Emma Kate Holdbrooks had a really solid summer and we saw this finish coming at the end of track season. This was a fantastic opener for her and she's going to play a big part with this team this fall. Monika and Regen were really solid and became stronger as the race went on. I expect them to be up there later this fall. Lina May, the freshman, a really good first collegiate race from her finishing in the top-10 as our No. 4 runner; an excellent effort from her today. We didn't run our full roster today, but we looked really good effort wise. We have a lot to build off of from today and I'm really looking forward to seeing what this team has this fall."
The Rundown
Emma Kate Holdbrooks, a redshirt sophomore, led the pack with a second-place finish at 18:23.15, which becomes her new personal best. Right behind were Monika Gebarzewska, Regen McGee and Lina May. May starts her collegiate career with a fifth-place finish.
