Beavers Gather Momentum For Conference Meet
October 09, 2026 | Women's Cross Country
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. & MADISON, Wisc. – Oregon State's top runners posted a strong result in a field of 17 ranked teams with a 24th place result at the Nuttycombe Invitational and Jadyn Kipe led the rest of the team with a top-50 finish at the Dellinger Invitational.
Â
"We were much improved from two weeks ago. This is a national-caliber field. We were likely ranked 30th of 34 teams coming in so we upgraded today," head coach Louie Quintana said.
Â
"We raced more cohesive and had a simple plan and executed it. We still have some parts that could have raced better today - but those things happen. I am about the leap forward in this national field. I know they are building momentum heading into conference," Quintana continued.
Â
Noemi Lundgren led the top squad in Madison, placing 78th in 20:38.6, followed by Sage Brooks in 103rd just 16 seconds later. Maella Hodgson and Ainsley Herron both finished in the top-130 just a shade over 21 minutes total and Maya Baechler rounded out the scoring runners in 155th.

The Beavers second squad finished 13th at the Dellinger Invitational in Springfield.
