Louisville, Ky- This fall break the Trailblazers took a trip up to Louisville, Kentucky for the Louisville Classic at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park.  Each year, this meet features some of the best talent in the country. In the Women's 6k Blue race, the Trailblazers had a solid day, finishing 23rd out of 47 teams.

Finishing first for the Trailblazers was sophomore Ellie Timmons with a time of 23:22. Crossing the line next was freshman Mandi Pollard, who ran a time of 24:09. Right behind her, junior Riley Shope finished in 24:10. Next, fellow junior Addison Martin finished in 24:17. 

Rounding out the top 5 for the Trailblazers was senior Riley Nicholson, who ran a time of 24:28.

From Head Coach Cameron Stober:

"This race was a great experience for our team. We had a lot of fun this weekend. There was a lot of competition, a huge race with a loaded field. The conditions weren't ideal and this was the first 6k of the season for us. But we still performed well as a team, despite all the ups and downs. Now we're ready to go into next week and run on a fairly fast course."
