Andrew Poore | Assistant Coach On the women’s race performance…
AP: “Katy [Zang] had a 102 degree fever two days before the meet, so the fact that she was even able to come out and give herself an opportunity to qualify as an individual today was pretty remarkable. The rest of the [women’s] team probably had their best race of the season, so we gave ourselves the best chance to be fourth in the meet. Fourth may not be enough to qualify us [for nationals] as a team, Katy may be on the outside looking in as an individual to qualify for nationals, but the fact that she gave herself that opportunity and the team gave themselves that opportunity was a really impressive effort all around.”
Aidan Lord fought through the final straightaway to lead the Hoosiers in finishing. He placed 40th with a time of 31:05.2. He was followed by Tony Provenzano in 42nd with a 31:07.0 time.
