Lake Forest Runs at Ripon Again

Lake Forest Runs at Ripon Again

Senior Philip Wilson's victory in the 3000 highlighted the Foresters' performance Saturday at Ripon College's Dick Hendricks Invitational.

Wilson won by more than 17 seconds with a time of 9:05.11. Finishing third in the 15-runner field was Lake Forest sophomore Christian Reyes, who completed the 15 laps around the track in 9:30.37.

The top performances for the Forester women also came in the 3000, where junior Yaneli Guajardo was the runner-up and broke her own record with time of 10:44.00. Freshman Madeline Morland was third 10:45.19, which was also faster than Guajardo's previous mark.

Junior Anna Mollnhuber added a fourth-place finish in the women's 5000 with a time of 19:52.19 while classmates Audrey Pagia and Molly Gniady were fifth in the 800 in 2:28.03 and seventh in the mile with a time of 5:48.93. Paglia's time ranks her second in that event in team annals, Mollnhuber's third, and Gniady's fifth.

After a pair of meets at Ripon, Lake Forest will travel back to the same general area of Wisconsin next Saturday when the team competes in the UW-Oshkosh Titan Challenge.
