Cross Country Wraps Up Competition At Notre Dame

The Marquette University men's and women's cross country teams continued their respective seasons Friday afternoon at the Joe Piane Invitational, hosted by the University of Notre Dame.

The men's team finished 12^th in the 21-team field in the 8K Gold Run and the women's squad claimed 15^th out of 21 programs in the 5K Gold Run at Burke Golf Course.

"It was another unseasonably warm day, so that definitely put some pressure on performances, but overall it was a great day," head coach Jack Hackett said. "It was a big improvement from last year, on both the men's and women's sides and I am excited to see that trend continue."

The University of Chicago earned first place in the men's race and the University of Windsor did the same on the women's side.

Junio Nick Parell was the top finisher on the men's side, claiming 28^th in the field with a time of 25:02.4. Junior Emma Coon crossed the finish line first for the women's team with a time of 18:07.4 to earn 24^th place. Coon was 114^th overall at the 1K mark, but finished strong to earn a top-25 finish.
