The ICC Women's Team, behind the one, two, three finish of Kelsey Holsapple, Hannah Griffin, and Darce Knapp, dominated the Sauk Invitational with 26 points, 40 better than Lincoln College, which had been ranked 22nd in the latest NJCAA poll. They were backed up well by the 10th and 14th place finishes of Marissa Menke and Rachel Harvey. Rachel, a standout on the ICC women's soccer team, was running her first race for the Cougars. The women followed the pre-race plan to perfection, packing up behind the leaders and making their move in the second half of the race. Kelsey finished in the fine time of 19:54, with Hannah and Darce just a few seconds behind. Darce finished the last 400 strong to pass two runners going into the finish and complete the sweep.The men's team, running without number three runner Scott Perry, had a tougher go in the meet, finishing third behind the tight duo of Lincoln (51 points) and Harper College (52 points). Billy Miller led the Cougar contingent with his 3rd place finish. Justin Phillis in 12th and Carl Pflederer in 13th also received individual awards.
Both teams will have next week off to prepare for the NJCAA Region 24 meet that will be held in Danville on October 26.
GO COUGARS!
