"We are excited about the women's finish today, which was led by Clara Wincheski's top-50 school-record performance," UNC Asheville cross country coach Jesse Norman said. "All of the women had season-best performances for the 6k today, which is awesome given the conditions today. We felt like the men's team didn't have a great day outside of Zach Boone and Graham Parker. This performance gives us something to work on as we move into track season."
