NASHUA, N.H. - The Mitchell College men's and women's cross country
team ran at the Eagle Invitational on Friday afternoon at Daniel
Webster College. The men's team finished first out of seven squads
while the women placed seventh out of eight.
Leading the charge on the men's side were junior John Hoffman and
senior Eric Appleby. Hoffman was the first to cross the finish line
at a time of 29:41, beating Daniel Webster's Christopher LaPlante
by a full eight seconds. Appleby rounded out the top three with a
time of 31:04 over the 8-kilometer course.
Sophomore Jonathan Kodsi, competing in his first race of the
season, recorded a time of 33:24 and finished just outside the top
10 in 11th place. Freshman Vernon Wilson also ran a strong race,
placing 14th overall with a time of 34:49.
Junior Brittany Smyth paced the Mariners on the women's side with a
time of 24:13 over the 5-kilometer course, good enough for sixth
place overall. She was one of three Mitchell runners who recorded a
faster time than at last week's race.
