TUCSON, Ariz. – The Sun Devil cross-country team made a statement in the Dave Murray Invitational at Tucson’s Dell Urich Golf Course on Friday afternoon.
Head coach Louie Quintana wanted to see a team race and see both men and women’s groups could do with a full unit running.
“The girls executed well,” Quintana said. “Our second group closed the gap well – we’re talking (redshirt senior) Jennifer Owen, (junior) Jenna Maack, (redshirt senior) Shaina Corbin – really made great progress through the course and were methodical.”
For the women, freshman Samantha Ortega debuted in style, winning the race with a time of 16:50.
