MIDDLETOWN, Conn. - The Mitchell College men's and women's cross
country teams competed at the Wesleyan Invitational on Saturday
afternoon. Both teams finished fourth out of four teams.
Junior John Hoffman and senior Eric Appleby led the men's squad.
Hoffman covered the 8-kilometer course in a time of 28:32.87, his
best time of the season by more than a minute. He finished 11th
overall while Appleby placed 20th with a time of 30:30.53, also a
season-best time.
Four other members of the men's team posted season-best
times-Vernon Wilson (34:15.60), Zach Hoch (35:56.47), Michael
Brennan (39:04.95) and Brian Ziminsky (40:34.98).
On the women's side, junior Brittany Smyth finished 20th
overall in a time of 23:07.69 over the 5-kilometer course. She
trimmed more than a minute off her season-best time, one of four
Mitchell women to do so on the day. Junior Kailee Hyde (Derby,
Conn.) bested her time by nearly two minutes at 28:01.48, and
freshmen Monica Gonzalez (32:07.77) and Morgan Kauffman (35:37.79)
each lowered their fastest times of the year.
Both the men's and women's cross country teams will next compete at
Rhode Island College Invitational on October 3.
