MADISON, Wis. – Competing in their most challenging non-championship meet of the season, the No. 20 San Francisco women's cross country team placed 20th in the 49-team 6-kilometer race on Friday afternoon at Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course.
Elena Burkard continued her standout freshman season, leading the Dons with a 52nd place finish. Burkard, who helped then-No. 23 San Francisco to a second place finish in the Toledo Bubble Buster on Sept. 21, paced the Dons with a time of 20:29. The Dons again bested their WCC foe BYU (24th place).
