Baylor cross country started their season Wednesday night at the Aggie Opener at the Dale Watts Cross Country Course in College Station. Two seniors led the way with impressive finishes. Ellie Friesen finished fourth in women’s 4.1-kilometer race with a time of 14:29.7 and Ryan Hodge finished fifth in men’s 5-kilometer race with a time of 15:47.0.
Friesen competed in her first race as a Bear after transferring from South Dakota State University, and earned the praise of cross country head coach David Barnett.
“Ellie did a great job,” Barnett said.
