SALEM, Ore. – The Portland women's cross country team turned in a standout performance at the 50th Charles Bowles Invitational on Saturday, earning a runner-up finish in the team standings. This marks a significant improvement from last year's fifth-place result.
Leading the way for the Pilots was Megan Crum, who continued her strong fall season with a fourth-place finish and a personal best time of 17:00.60. Close behind, Selena Bangerter (18th, 17:52.10) and Lindsey Kaines (19th, 17:52.50 PR) packed up well in the top 20 to give Portland valuable points. The Pilots' scoring five were rounded out by Clare Herring (22nd, 17:55.40 PR) and Danica Allen (33rd, 18:09.10 PR) — both setting personal records in the process.
Next up, Portland heads to the Linfield George Oja Invite in Independence, Ore., on Saturday, Oct. 18. Stay tuned to PortlandPilots.com for more information.
