Evansville ran in Greater Louisville Classic on Saturday
Â
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – On a cold and crisp fall morning, times fell once again for the University of Evansville Cross Country Teams as they competed at the Greater Louisville Classic at Tom Sawyer Park on Saturday morning.
Fresh off of the first win of her career last weekend, freshman Sienna Crews continued to improve, setting her PR at 19:00.78 to lead the Aces and take 8th place out of 209 runners. Her time bested her race at the Early Bird Invite where she ran a 19:01.1. Taking 19th place was senior Elizabeth Kingshott. She ran her best race of the season, rounding the course in 19:28.01.
Third on the team once again was Michelle Karp.  An impressive season continued for Karp as she set her PR for the fourth time in five races, running a 19:52.97. That time was over 35 seconds below her previous record of 20:28, which was set last weekend. Fourth on the team was Ashton Bosler. The freshman continued her adjustment to the college sport, setting her low time of 20:23.06. Bosler has improved in each of her three 5K events this fall.
Laurel Wolfe rounded out the top five for the Purple Aces, completing the 5K in a time of 20:57.21. It was a 1-minute improvement over last weekend’s effort at Austin Peay. The team finished the race in 8th place out of 17 schools.
Ben Woolems was the top finisher for the men, taking 88th out of 306 runners in the event. His 28:00.12 was his best time of the year by over a minute with his previous low this year being a 29:01.1 in the Bradley Intercollegiate. Next up was Ross Frondorf. He also ran his best race of the season, finishing the 8K in 28:10.94.
Freshman Jordan Carpenter was third on the team, posting a PR of 29:20.57. It was a great race, topping his previous best time of the season, which was a 30:59.5 at the Commodore Classic. Andrew Barrett was fourth for UE with a PR of his own – 29:24.65. Paul Schwartz rounded out the top five for the men, crossing the line in 29:49.03. The men were 27th out of 34 squads.
Next weekend, the Aces have their first off week before running the UE Invitational at Angel Mounds on Saturday, Oct. 17.
