CLAREMONT, Calif. - Talia Green finished in fifth place overall, as the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's cross country team came in third place at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational on Saturday.
CMS was competing without the 10 runners who traveled to the NCAA Pre-Nationals last weekend, and still earned a high finish behind only Pomona-Pitzer and Vanguard.
Green finished in 22:21.5 to earn her fifth-place finish to lead the way for CMS.
Sophie Saleh was the second Athena to cross in 19th place in 23:12.8, while
Rosemary McManus was 23rd in 23:35.0 and
Raquel Flores was 26th in 23:42.9.
Skye Georgiadis led a pack of Athenas to become the fifth scorer, finishing with a time of 23:49.5 to come in 29th place. She was followed by
Nora Olson,
Ivy McFetridge and
Olivia DeBoer in 30th-32nd.
Charlotte Preuss (35th) and
Lily Pippel (46th) were also in top half of the 101-runner field.
CMS will be back in action next weekend at the Highlander Invitational hosted by UC Riverside, before the SCIAC Championships in three weeks.
