September 08, 2018 | Women's Cross Country
SEATTLE, Wash. – Juliana Mount placed fifth and Haley Wolf placed eighth leading the Oregon State cross country team to a second place finish at the 2018 Sundodger Cross Country Invitational on Saturday morning at Lincoln Park in Seattle.
"The team raced smart and patient," said head coach Louie Quintana. "We sat back with Washington and let Boise State roll with their front group."
Boise State is currently ranked No. 5 in the nation and showed why on Saturday taking first place with 17 team points. The Beavers totaled 49 points in second place, with the Huskies of Washington taking third place with 73 points. Trinity Western (111 points) and Seattle University (148 points) comprised the remainder of the field of competition.
Senior Juliana Mount, a returning All-West Region performer, picked up right where she left off a season ago leading the Beavers with a strong effort racing to a time of 20:55. Newcomer, Haley Wolf, covered her first ever 6,000-meter race in 21:02 finishing a few sports back of Mount.Â
"JJ [Juliana Mount] and Haley [Wolf] were rock solid up front," said Quintana.
A trio of Beavers had top-20 finishes in Mari Friedman, Audrey Lookner and Brigette Takeuchi. Friedman earned an 11th place finish in 21:23.50, while Lookner (21:43.30) and Takeuchi (21:44.70) finished back to back in 16th and 17th.
Sara Christianson and Alyssa Foote were the final two runners earning points for Oregon State. Christianson ran 22:04.10 finishing in 24th individually, while Foote ran a 22:10.40 in 25th place.
Batya Beard (22:27.30), Rebecca Ledsham (22:40.70), Maddie Fuhrman (23:15.00) and Alexa Hayes (24:29.90) round out the Beavers in the field.
"We have a lot to improve on and we weren't full strength," said Quintana. "But we are clearly a better team this year and a potential NCAA team."
Up Next
The Beavers take a couple week hiatus to train before hitting the road to compete in the Nuttycombe Invitational on Friday, Sept. 28 in Madison, Wis.
