Liking, Sharp, Willemse highlight top performers in Chicago
The University of Wisconsin cross country program made a quick trip to Illinois to compete in the Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational Saturday, hosted by Loyola University Chicago.
Saturday marked the first time that the Badgers’ faithful got to witness some of the top runners competing for UW in the 2023 season, and they delivered.
It started with the women’s team, where Wisconsin native Leané Willemse led the pack — turning in a time of 20:05 in the 6000 meter race in her opening competition.
