1st of 8 at Marietta Broughton Invitational

Sept. 17, 2005

The Ohio Wesleyan women's cross country team nearly turned in a perfect race in winning the Carl Broughton Invitational, hosted by Marietta College on Saturday at Marietta.

Team scores in cross country are figured by counting one point for first place, 2 for second place and so on. A team that had the top 5 individual finishers in a race -- a perfect score -- would have a team score of 15.

The Bishops nearly pulled that off, placing runners in spots 1-4. Freshman Catie Coleman (Medina/Lodi Cloverleaf) won the race, completing the 5000-meter course in a time of 20:10.23. Senior Nina DiTraglia (Portsmouth/Gilmour Academy) was second in 20:24.86, senior Meggie Feran (Kirtland) finished third in 20:40.37 and freshman Leah Schmelzer (Marion/Pleasant) followed in fourth place in 20:50.29.

Freshman Laura Binkley (Columbus/Bishop Watterson) completed the Bishop scoring, finishing 12th in 21:52.66. Junior Laura Bange (Cincinnati/St. Ursula) finished 15th in 22:14.56 and junior Wendy Farrell (Fremont/Ross) was 25th in a time of 23:12.98.

Ohio Wesleyan's team score of 22 points outdistanced second-place Wittenberg's score of 70. Muskingum was third with 81 points, followed by Ohio Valley (115), Franciscan (135), Marietta (144), Bethany (167) and Fairmont State (193).
