Junior Claire Le Gallo led a solid performance by the women, finishing sixth in 15:11.7, while Sadie Heeringa was eighth in 15:30.3. The squad topped Arizona and Grand Canyon in the four-team race, falling onto to host NAU. Local product Johnathan Estrada (Desert Visa High School) led the men, as the sophomore posted a sixth-place finish.
"We had a great day today," say head coach Ryan Ray. "The team competed hard and race really well. Coming in second to a great program like NAU is exciting. And it's always great to beat Arizona."
Both teams have a few weeks off before competing at the Dave Murray Invitational on Friday, Sept. 29. ASU will also compete at the Highlander Invitational in Riverside, CA, on Saturday, Oct. 14, before the Pac-12 Championships held at University Place, WA, Oct. 27.
