KERNERSVILLE, N.C. – The Marshall men's and women's cross country teams were in action Friday at the VertCross Invitational, with the women taking fifth and the men sixth at the Ivey M. Redmon Sports Complex.
The women totaled 133 points, while the men finished with 164 points.
Abby Herring led the Thundering Herd's women's team with a seventh place finish in 18 minutes and 9.1 seconds over the 5 kilometer course. Kyleigh Edwards took 29th (19:05.6), followed by Sydney Smith (33rd, 19:14.6), Julie Muller (46th, 19:42), Meagan Ward (50th, 19:50.6), Madelyn Garrison (60th, 20:15.6), Kalei Jordan (63rd, 20:21.5), Victoria Dotson (65th, 20:24.2), Erykah Christopher (75th, 20:50.6), Mackenzie Stanley (90th, 22:07.6), Emma Valle (95th, 22:42.4) and Cari Hively (22:53).
Evan White paced the Marshall men with a 40th place finish (27:21.6) over eight kilometers. Jackson Snyder (44th, 27:30.2) was the Herd's next finisher, followed by Paul Sepulveda (46th, 27:37.7), Branden Wood (49th, 27:43.1), Brett Armbruster (57th, 28:17.2), Wyatt Hanshaw (64th, 28:38.4), Kazuma Bowring (28:52.3), Jordan Thomas (74th, 29:18.2) and Ronnie Saunders (85th, 31:32.2).
"We competed very well," said Caleb Bowen, Marshall's Assistant Coach for Cross Country. "The times won't show it but I thought the men and women put themselves in good position and raced hard. The heat hurt us but it affected everyone in the race. The women were right in the thick of some really good teams that are ranked in the Southeast region and accomplished a lot of the goals that we had coming in."
Marshall is off until the Conference USA Championships in Charlotte on Saturday, October 30.
