Donner's Debriefing
"Very solid race today by our ladies. Considering that it is the first time on this course and we had a three-hour bus ride with a very early wake-up call, I felt that we handled the pressure well. I was excited about our team's depth, and of course, Shaelan looked very good running up front."
Recap
McNally notched her second consecutive victory of 2025 with a blitzing time of 20:08.8 - 18 seconds superior to the silver medal runner. McNally broke her personal record for a 6k course which she set two weeks ago at the Lehigh Invitational.
Quinnipiac finished first with 36 points. Marist was a distant third-place finish with 129 points.
Caryn Rippey, once again, served as McNally's wingwoman, finishing fifth with an impressive time of 20:56.0. She broke her personal best time for a 6k course by seven seconds.
Katie Moncavage joined the personal best time parade running 21:18.5 to finish ninth, as the third Bison distancewoman to notch top ten honors. She sat her new record time by 22.5 seconds.
Captain Kailey Granger earned 14th place with a time of 21:49.1.
