Head Coach Tom Shaw said, "The Bruins finished 10th of 17 teams participating in this race. Sophomore Brenna Withers started off her season with an excellent 15th place finish of 95 runners. Her 22:08 time on a tough 5k course sets her up to have a banner year. Withers qualified for the national championship race with her time. Our 6 first-year runners showed grit on a tough day. Shout out to Freshman Chloe Badger (25:24) and Freshman Libby Butchart (25:35) with excellent starts to their season."
Bruins are back in action on Friday, September 13 at the Raider-Knight Invite in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
