Shaw Finishes in 32nd Place at Eagle Invitational

Only Four Runners from Goucher Complete 5K Race

October 11, 2008

BLAIR COUNTY, Pa. – Junior Katie Shaw (Albuquerque, N.M./Bosque School) was the first runner from Goucher to cross the finish line in the Eagle Invitational, a 5,000-meter race conducted today at Fort Roberdeau, which will be the site next month of the Landmark Conference Championships.

Due to injury, illness and other reasons, only four runners from Goucher were able to complete the race. Therefore, the Gophers were not awarded a team score.

With her time of 21:51.9, Shaw finished 32nd in a field of 82 runners. The individual champion was Alycia Woodruff from Susquehanna and her winning time was 19:16.5.

Goucher's other three finishers were freshman Alex Collis (Glenside, Pa./Abington) in 62nd place, sophomore Hannah Southworth (Madbury, N.H./Oyster River) in 66th place and freshman Chiara Collette (Jakarta, Indonesia/Jakarata International School) in 75th place. Collis turned in a time of 24:18.2, while Southworth and Collette were clocked at 25:10.2 and 26:33.4, respectively.
