Won at McQuaid on short course. Won the LEL in a walkover. 3. Angela Bizzarri (Mason) - A true impact freshman finding her stride. After being outkicked by King earlier in the year she ran away from her at Fairmont to win in 18:27. Narrowly lost to Rauen on a lean at her conference meet. 4. Emily King (Coffman) - Looking like her old self and still undefeated as well. Won Lancaster, won her conference meet over teammate Churchill with an 18:20. 5.
