MADISON, Wis. — Both of the San Francisco cross country teams competed Friday in the prestigious Nuttycombe Invitational hosted by the University of Wisconsin, with the men's and women's teams each earning top-30 finishes and beating multiple regionally ranked teams at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course.
MEN
Chris Olley again led the San Francisco men, who entered the week ranked No. 10 in the West Region. Olley ran an impressive race, finishing 38th among a field of more than 230 individuals. Olley fought off two fellow West Coast Conference runners from Portland, turning in a time of 23 minutes, 54.1 seconds over the fast 8-kilometer course to edge the Pilots' Emmanuel Roudolff-Levisse and Stuart McCallum by 0.5 seconds and 3.2 seconds, respectively.
The Dons' No. 2 through 5 runners packed well, all finishing within 18 seconds of each other. Jack Rowe formed USF's 1-2 punch with Olley for the second time, placing 141st in 24:46.8. Daniel Maneloveg was only four seconds behind him in 24:50.5, while Caleb McClain scored right behind Maneloveg in 24:52.1. Scott Halsted rounded out the Dons' top-five with a time of 25:04.6. Sophomore Jacob Hernandez capped the Dons' performance on the day with a time of 26:19.1.
San Francisco finished 27th as a team, beating Penn State and Penn – both top-five ranked teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region. They also downed Bradley, the No. 4 team in the Midwest Region, as well as Providence and Texas Tech, both top-15 ranked teams in their respective regions.
WOMEN
The San Francisco women – who entered the week ranked No. 7 in the West Region – ran well as a group Friday, packing their top-four runners within 42 seconds of each other. Senior Alena Ulrichova led the way for the Dons with a time of 21:16.9 across the 6 km course, placing 103rd. Tatjana Schulte was the Dons' No. 2 runner in 21:28.4. Megan Davies was also part of that tight pack for the Dons, finishing in 21:42.5. Josephine Brysting was the fourth Don on the day to break the 22-minute mark, posting a time of 21:58.7 as USF's No. 4 runner.
Josien Sheepens closed out the Dons' scoring as the No. 5 runner in 22:22.5. Valerie Almanza finished in 23:02.3, and Emma Stahr turned in a time of 23:57.0.
San Francisco finished 28th, beating five regionally ranked teams. TCU, the No. 6-ranked team in the South Central Region, as well as Tulsa and Northern Illinois (Midwest Region), and Washington State (West Region) all fell to the Dons.
COMING UP
USF returns to the same course in two weeks, as it will take part in the Pre-Nationals meet hosted by Wisconsin at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course, where the 2018 NCAA Championships will be held in November.
