The Augustana College Cross Country programs had a great weekend at the Roy Griak Invitational. Last year the women pulled in a 5th place, while the men came out of the meet as champions. There was a lot of excitement headed into this weekend and both teams came out with 2nd place finishes. The weather was beautiful at the University of Minnesota golf course as the women took the course.
On the shoulders of Kyle Blakeslee and Leah Hansen the women ran strong and finished second to the University of Mary by 2 points. With key runners like Runa Falch, Kristin Brondbo, and Ingeborg Lind not present, this second place finish really displayed the depth of the women's team! Check out the results below to see times and places.
With Travis Beniak running unattached, and Tom Karbo resting this week, the men were missing some key runners, but still ran strong. Paul Yak and Ryan Evans ran well as usual while new frehsman TJ Gleason and Adam Braun stepped up and got the job done to help the mens team finished behind only Central Missouri.
Its hard to see the true potential of the Augustana teams on both sides with Coach Hellman still resting some of our best runners, but there is a lot of excitement around how we have ran so far moving forward! Stay tuned for more exciting cross country news!
