WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue women's cross country took advantage of the familiar terrain of the Ackerman Hills Golf Course in route to a dominating performance Friday afternoon. The Boilermakers won the three-team 4,700m race scoring 22 points, 13 better than second place finisher Northwestern, the 30th-ranked team in the country. Illinois placed third with 79 points
"I was very pleased with the way we competed today," coach Ben Paolillo said. "We really worked hard preparing for this meet and I think it showed in our level of competitiveness today. Ann (Stechschulte) and Teresa (Kamleiter) ran spectacular races, as did the whole team. The coaching staff is really pleased.
Junior Ann Stechschulte took the win with a time of 17:19.90. She didn't have to wait long for her teammates, as freshman Teresa Kamleiter finished second in a time of 17:31.90. Sophomores Nicole Nigh (17:35.10) and Barbara Wenger (17:40.30) followed finishing fourth and fifth, respectively, to give Purdue four of the top five finishers.
Heather Hartshorne was the final Boilermaker scorer as she crossed the line 18:05.90, good enough for 10th place.
"We set some goals as team," Paolillo said. "We really wanted to get five of our runners across the finish line before Illinois had four. We not only met that goal, but we had four across before Northwestern even had two. We really ran well and we just need to keep improving each week."
The Boilermakers will travel to Ann Arbor next Sunday for the Wolverine Invitational.
