Runners Compete in 3rd Annual Forester Invitational
The women's race was first and, with 60 points, Northwestern University took home the team title. Carroll College finished a close second with 69 points. UW-Parkside was third with 97 points. The individual champion was Christian Bock from Bethel College, who completed the 5-kilometer course in 19 minutes and 16 seconds. The top Forester in the women's race was senior Melissa Brown (Cape Coral, FL/Cape Coral), who finished in 52nd place with a time of 21:59, the best on the team this year. Five of Brown's teammates crossed
the finish line within the next minute. Junior Erin
Motzer (Libertyville, IL/Libertyville), who ran alongside Brown for
much of the race, finished just three seconds behind her at 22:02. Sophomore
Lee
Winklepleck (Shaker Heights, OH/Hathaway Brown), senior Cristina
Roti (Chicago, IL/New Trier), junior Molly
Sutherland (St. Paul, MN/Visitation), and freshman Andrea
Lindblom (Plymouth, MN/Wayzata) gave the team six runners under 23
minutes.
Adam Broten of Carroll College finished the 8-kilometer race in a course record 25 minutes and 26 seconds. The winning times the first two years were the same - 26:15. The Foresters' Charles Evans (Asheville, NC/Carolina Day School), a senior, completed the course in 11th place with a time of 27:12, missing the school record by just four seconds. Junior Eric Crawley (Braintree, MA/Thayer) ran a career-best 28:09 to finish in 28th place. Senior Joe Zemaitis (Scottsdale, AZ/Horizon) broke the 29-minute barrier for the first time in 2001, albeit by just one second. Junior Rob Bahde (Plainfield, IL/Plainfield) finished in 29:55 and the team narrowly missed having five runners under 30 minutes for the first time ever when freshman Logan Dick (Tucson, AZ/Salpointe Catholic) crossed the line with a personal-best time of 30:18. Next week the Foresters will be competing in the Midwest Conference Championship. Grinnell College will host the meet, which will begin at 11:00 am. Complete Results: Women
