U of M women's XC SID release on Region performance HERE.
North Dakota State's Erin Teschuk finished second in 20:07.4 to also book a spot in the NCAA Championships. (NDSU release on Teschuk HERE). The Gopher women led through nearly 4K of the 6K race. Iowa State worked their way up from fifth place at 2K to catch and pass the Minnesota women. ISU was led by Crystal Nelson(second in 16:55.4) and Katy Moen(third in 16:55.5), followed by their second "pack," Erin Hooker(17th in 17:18.4) and Perez Rotich(20th in 17:19.2) with Heidi Engelhardt(32nd in 17:32) finishing the scoring.
In the men's race the Gophers moved up steadily throughout the race to place fourth with 128 points. Iowa State was third with 128 with Oklahoma State winning with 63 points and Tulsa second with 77. The gopher's Aaron Bartnik finished fourth in 30:02.1. (U of M SID story on what Bartnek has had to overcome is HERE)Bartnek moved through the pack throughout the race and was as high as second, leading a pack of three runners going into the final kilometer. Full results are HERE. Team finishes are below:
U of M SID release on the men is HERE.
Cretin-Derham Hall grad Kevin Docherty helped his Iowa team to finish seventh as the second finisher for the team in 46th in 30:58.6.
Mounds Park Academy grad Mason Ferlic finished seventh in the Great Lakes Region Meet in 30:25, his University of Michigan team finished third. Ferlic was the fifth individual finisher who was not on a team that qualified for the NCAA Championships, so he just missed an automatic qualifier, but the NCAA also selects two "at large" qualifiers. So Ferlic has to wait on the selectors decision to find out if he will be going to the NCAA XC Champs.
The West Region was full of surprises as defending NCAA men's champ Edward Cheserek(29:35) finished second to Stanford's Maksim Korolev(29:33.5). In the women's team race, Boise State won a tiebreaker with Stanford for second place and the final automatic team qualifying spot in that Region. Elk River grad Emma Bates finished second(19:34.2) to Griak winner Shelby Houlihan(19:31.6) in the individual race.Pre-race story on Houlihan is HERE.
NCAA DI All Region selections are HERE One Gopher man and four Gopher women are among those honored.
