GREEN BAY, WI - The Lake Forest College cross country teams began their season Saturday (September 4) at St. Norbert College's Tom Barry Invitational. The 12-team meet was held at Colburn Park in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Forester women placed seventh in the first race of the day and the men followed with a runner-up team finish. St. Norbert won both races.

As she did in each of the team's meets last season, sophomore Katie Snowden (Toronto, ON/York Mills Collegiate Institution) led the Forester women with a 5-kilometer time of 21:10 and a 16th-place finish. Freshman Elisa Luna (Highwood, IL/Highland Park) placed 23rd overall in 21:59, sophomore Liz Martinez (Chicago, IL/Cristo Rey Jesuit) was 29th in 22:23, and Elisa's older sister, sophomore Estafania Luna (Highwood, IL/Highland Park), finished one second and two places behind Martinez. Freshman Jen Ciesielski (Naperville, IL/Naperville North) rounded out the team's top five in 55th place.

All five scorers on the men's team placed in the top 20 as the Foresters finished just seven points behind the host school in the standings. Sophomore Dan Hankosky (Orland Park, IL/Carl Sandburg) led the way in fourth place overall with a 4-mile time of 22:19. Senior Logan Dick (Tucson, AZ/Salpointe Catholic) was 10th with a time of 22:52. Freshman Humberto Palmerin (Highland Park, IL/Highland Park) and junior Derek Meiring (Carleton, MI/Airport Senior) finished 15th (23:09) and 16th (23:20), respectively. Junior Eric Leninger (Geneva, IL/Geneva) was 20th overall in 23:45.
