She was immediately followed by three Bulldogs -- freshman Alexandra Robran (19:13.5) and juniors Elizabeth Kyes (19:33.6) and Lizzie Schlafke (19:40.8). Sophomore Gabriella Brinkley (19:54.5) and freshmen Mason Kalander (20:08.5) and Haleigh Reindl (20:14.4) finished in the 6-8 spots,  respectively, while Megan Stuart, the Bulldogs' lone senior was ninth and another rookie Lexie Chambers was 10th.
