WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - - The Ball State cross country team placed fifth among the six Big School Teams in Friday's three-mile championship race of the Indiana Intercollegiate at Purdue's Boilermaker Cross Country Course.
The race was originally scheduled to be a 5K event, but the course was re-measured over the last two days and it was determined to be a three-mile course. Indiana won the meet with its five scored runners combining for 19 points. Purdue was second with 43 points, followed by IUPUI (105), Indiana State (117), Ball State (137) and Evansville (143).
For the third consecutive race, senior twin sisters Courtney Edon and Caitlynn Edon (New Palestine, Ind./New Palestine) paced Ball State's scored runners by placing 15th (18:03.8) and 21st (18:26.3), respectively.
Junior Danielle Dahl (Chelsea, Mich./Chelsea) was the Cardinals third-fastest runner at the event, placing 39th overall with a time of 19:39.1. Rounding out Ball State's scored runners were sophomore Ericka Rinehart (Angola, Ind./Angola) and freshman Jessica Bryzek (Brownsburg, Ind./Indiana Academy) with times of 19:40.7 (41st) and 19:44.3 (42nd), respectively.
In the three-mile open race, which was not scored, freshman Sarah Hoppes (Indianapolis, Ind./Warren Central) led five Ball State runners by placing 29th overall in 19:38.2.
The Ball State cross country team will focus on training over the next few weeks before returning to action Friday, Oct. 3 at the Notre Dame Invitational.
