App State cross country captures first at Wildcat Invite

Both men’s and women’s Mountaineer cross country teams secured first place Friday at the Wildcat Invite.

“Like many students on campus, this fall, the team has been hit with flu and flu-like symptoms that have held them back from training,” said head coach Michael Curcio. “So it was nice for a group that missed a few meets to get back on track so to speak. The whole staff was pleased with the effort.”

In the women’s 5K, sophomore Annie Amundsen ran a blazing 18:48.7 to claim silver. Next for App State was sophomore Kirstin Towle in third place with a time of 19:04.
