Joanna Kershner leads the Bobcats in the Founding Tree 6K XC Invitational at Hampshire College
Joanna Kerchner (SO/Reading, PA) led the Bobcats through the Founding Tree 6K with a time of 28:22, improving her time 10 minutes from a week ago at the St. Lawrence University Ronald Hoffmann Invitational.
Joanna Kershner led the way for the Bobcats in the Women's 6K event at the Hampshire College Founding Tree Invitational on Saturday with a time of 28:22 to place 16th overall. Kershner had a tough race a week ago at St. Lawrence University in the Ronald Hoffmann Invitational, and yet she took a full ten minutes off her 6K time at Hampshire College.
Chloe Freund (FR/Clinton, NY) has been leading the team through the first month of competition, and she improved her 6K time by two-minutes finishing in 29:06 to place 24th. Brooklynn Shumway (SO/Bloomingdale, NY) placed 31st in 30:22. All three runners improved their competition pace times considerably at the Founding Tree, and are laying a great foundation for the Yankee Small Conference Championships taking place on this same course at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA.
The Bobcats will be running in the Paul Smith's College 10K and Half Marathon on Saturday October 5th as a relaxed flaming leaves event that allows the team members to run with family members and friends without the pressures associated with a collegiate meet. This will begin with an 8:00 AM start at the entrance to the college at the junctions of State Route 86 and 30, heading SW towards Saranac Lake, and then following the Jones Pond, Rainbow Lake Road and the Oregon Plains Road with the half marathon finishing near the former Norman's Store in Bloomingdale, NY.
