Medal winners Jen Hess (4th), Erin Aagesen (6th), Camille Flanders (9th), and Carin Frenchick (10th) led the team.
The depth of the team is shown by Tiff Rausch, who placed 16th, Mesa Frenchick in 20th, and Danielle Lieser who placed 30th. The fact that the whole team runs near the front of the pack helps the score and encourages each runner to individually improve.
