Last Time Out
Most recently, both Tommie men's and women's programs ran a handful of student-athletes at Rocky's Run hosted by the University of Minnesota. The two teams ran the same 5K race at Les Bolstad Golf Course, the women led by freshmen Ellie Moore (3rd, 18:45) and Lauren Risdal (6th, 19:01) while the men were led by junior Isaac Nowak (5th, 15:41) and sophomore Ethan Foote (6th, 15:43).
 
Prior to Rocky's Run, St. Thomas continued its momentum with a strong showing at the Pink Classic in Peoria, Ill., as both the men's and women's cross country teams turned in multiple personal records and top-10 team finishes. The Tommie men placed ninth of 21 in the Red Race and fourth of 18 in the White Race, led by junior Max Westerlund's career-best 24:26.02 to finish 13th overall. Freshman Casey Poppler and sophomore Ben Stricker also posted PRs to help pace the team during the White Race.
 
On the women's side, freshman Lindsay Berg led St. Thomas for the first time this season with a personal-best 21:17.98, guiding the Tommies to 11th in the Red Race. In the White Race, freshman Lauren Risdal (22:47.91) led five Tommies to top-50 finishes as the team placed fifth overall, highlighted by a sweep of personal records across the scoring lineup.
