Individual Performances

– Kailee Perry took first overall in the meet, leading for most of the race and finishing with a time of 20:55.8. The senior surpassed her 2022 Mel Brodt Open time of 21:48.0 by nearly a minute. “Kailee took a big risk at the hill early, and this was a tough day to take that risk with the wind because she had to do so much work against it,” head coach Lou Snelling said. “I think it just speaks to how fit and how strong she is right now that she could do that.”
– Senior Katerina Shuble finished second for the Falcons and fourth overall, posting a 21:31.6 6k time while running unattached. The performance was her best of the season, beating her Mel Brodt Open time by 21 seconds.
– Kylee Cubbison was the third Falcon to cross the finish line, completing the 6k in 22:16.3. The freshman finished 17th overall.
