MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University cross country runners Marie-Louise Asselin, Ahna Lewis and Kaylyn Christopher all broke the course record in the intrasquad Gold-Blue Race held today at the WVU Agronomy Farm.

“This was an excellent showing,” comments Head Coach Sean Cleary. “The Gold-Blue Race was a glorified training day where we had atmosphere and a lot of team spirit in a low key environment. The team looks fit and in good shape.”

Asselin’s time of 14:24, broke the previous course record of 15:19, set by Christopher and Kate Harrison in 2007. Lewis, a Morgantown, W.Va native, finished in 15:07, while Christopher beat her personal and course best time of 15:19, crossing the finish line at 15:17.

The Mountaineers return to action on Sept. 13, traveling to Princeton, N.J. to take place in the Princeton Invitational. The race is set to begin at 10 a.m. Print View   Email
