WILMINGTON, Ohio - Junior Milena Wahl paced the Wilmington College women's cross country team with a fourth-place finish (19:11.2) at the ninth annual JennaStrong Classic on Friday evening. As a team, the Fightin' Quakers placed 12th-of-16 teams that finished with a team score.
Wahl's personal-best time paced the day for the Quakers. She finished 16 seconds faster from last season as well as six spots better. Bella Stevens finished second for the squad with an 80th-place finish in 22:33. The duo of AJ Houseman (23:20) and Julia Bystrom (23:43) finished close by one another. Kaitlyn Rauch rounded out the scoring for the Quakers.
"It was another great JennaStrong Fall Classic," Head Cross Country Coach Ron Combs said. "It was amazing to see all the teams from our campus out on the course cheering on our team. It is truly unique and a compliment to our teams and coaches. We never go anywhere where that happens."
The Quakers prepare for the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Championships on October 29th.
