Meet Stats | September 29, 2001

CENTREVILLE, VA -- With the men taking a week off from competition, the American women's cross country team traveled to Bull Run Regional Park for the George Washington Invitational on Saturday.

The women rested their top four from last weekend's meet at Mount St. Mary's. American's women placed fourteenth out of 19 teams at the meet, just one point behind Johns Hopkins.

The Eagles ran very well with every single competitor running the fastest time of her career. Leading the way for the Eagles was sophomore Leah Heinecke-Krumhus who placed 46th in the race with a time of 19:54.00. It was her first time to break the 20 minute barrier in a cross country race. Freshmen Heidi Fishpaw (20:01.00) and Megan Simpson (20:04.00) followed Heinecke-Krumhus in 54th and 56th place respectively.

Rounding out the American contingent was Siobhan Unicake in 83rd (20:51.00), Lindsay Gilman in 94th (21:17.00), and Nicole Eldredge in 111th (23:08.00).
