Freshman Laura Longeway was the first Gator to reach the finish line at (23:29) on the 4k course. Longeway placed 144th and fellow teammates Holly Hand (23: 57) and Christy Canjura (25:16) would crack the top 150 to end the day. The Gators went on to finish the Dickinson Long-Short Invitational 19th.

Hand, who broke the Notre Dame (Md.) all-time 5K record at the Johns Hopkins Kickoff Invitational in the season-opening race, will join forces and look to make a splash a few miles down the road at Goucher College with Longeway who posted a top 20 finish on the CSAC preview 6k course.
