There were 371 runners in the race. Heyer went out on her own as the team's front-runner. Even though she finished 92nd, she was within about 15 seconds of being in the top 50 so she was really close to busting off a big one. The rest of the scorers stayed relatively close together. The fact that they were so close together is going to help us in smaller meets, but that pack just has to move up a lot.
People have to step it up.
There was a huge gap between Susanne and the rest of the pack. We really have to close that gap if we want to be a more competitive team. The Lions did manage to outdo Navy again. Navy finished 46th with 1,069 points compared to Penn State's 1,040. The Lions average time was just four-tenths of a second better than Navy's.
