Hornet Harrier Invitational

WINCHESTER, Va. -- Shannon Woods helped guide the Christopher Newport cross country teams to a solid effort at the Hornet Harrier Invitational as the Captains wrapped up Saturday's action at the Kernstown Battlefield.
 
During the women's 5k, the Captains accumulated 213 points, which placed them eighth overall. The men came in 14th in the standings after posting a score of 374.
 
On an individual level, Woods came through with the top finish after crossing in 21:32.9. That placed her 34th overall and shaved over a full minute off her 5k time from the William & Mary Invitational earlier this month.
 
Along with Woods' performance, three other Captains also had top-50 showings on Saturday. During the women's race, Abby Snyder finished 42nd overall in 21:57.9, while Magdalena Ralston was 45th in 22:01.8. Meanwhile, in the men's 6k, Adam Wosahla led Christopher Newport with a time of 20:59.0, which placed him 44th overall.
 
Rounding out the women's top-five runners, Mariam Kolbai was 53rd overall (22:15.0) and Casey Yenyo was 62nd (22:44.4). Just behind Yenyo, Callie Pratt finished 63rd (22:58.0) and MacKenzie Garner was 64th (22:59.3).
 
On the men's side, Tucker Grochowski paced the freshman finishers after crossing the line in 21:39.6, which placed him 80th overall. Just seconds later, Zach Mackenzie came in 82nd in 21:44.0. Capping off the men's performers, Aidan Fritz finished in 22:38.9, and Trevor Goodwin clocked in at 24:56.8.
 
Christopher Newport will return to action on October 5 when the Captains take part in the Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
