AUBURN, Ala. — Behind four Top-50 finishes, the Davidson women's cross country team took home a third-place finish at the Auburn Invitational Saturday, placing ahead of tournament host and SEC power Auburn.
Junior Caroline Sanker led the 'Cats with an 11th-place finish and was named to the All-Invitation team for finishing in the Top 12 overall. Sanker's time of 17:05 set a new school record for the 5K distance, besting her own record of 17:12 set earlier in the month at the Winthrop Invitational.
"We ran a great race today!" head coach Jen Straub said. "Caroline and Brenna continue to turn in fast times. Annie and Megal had great races too, and our freshmen continue to keep us in the game!"
Senior Brenna Burns finished in the Top 25 overall, recording the fourth best time in school history crossing the finish line in 17:35.
Senior Annie O' Donnell crossed the line with a personal best as she finished in 18:02, nearly 25 seconds better than her previous best time. Senior Megal Atias rounded out the Wildcats' top finishers, placing 50th overall with a time of 18:34.
As a team, the 'Cats finished third out of 22 teams, behind just Florida and Iowa.
The Wildcats next travel to Greenville, S.C. for the Furman Invitational on October 13.
