In the five-kilometer, first-year distance runner Eileen Seebon recorded a time of 16:56, nine seconds faster than her previous best. Fourth-year distance runner Eva Bednard and third-year distance runner Aiden Grasse also set new personal records, with Grasse shaving one second off his final time of 18:09, while Bednard finished with a time of 18:57 — 10 seconds faster than her previous best. 

On the men’s team, first-year distance runner Trent Anderson achieved a new personal record in the 3,000-meter, cutting four seconds off his previous best with a time of 8:30. 

Meanwhile at the Wisconsin Windy City Invite, three women’s 3,000-meter participants made their way into the top-10 in program history.

Graduate distance runner Delia McDade-Clay earned a fifth-place finish along with a new personal best and the third fastest time in program history with a time of 9:29.

Third-year distance runner Grace Kuhn and first-year distance runner Julia Isham both joined McDade-Clay on the top-10 list with a sixth place finish at 9:33 and ninth place finish at 9:38, respectively.
