Huskies sweep SeattleU in season opener at Magnuson Park...
SEATTLE--In what was essentially a glorified tempo run over the trails of Warren G. Magnuson Park, the University of Washington opened the 2013 cross country season by sweeping cross-town rival Seattle University in the annual UW/SeattleU Open Meet, with the men winning 17-40 over a 7200 meter course (4.47 miles), and the #5 ranked women taking care of business 25-31 over 4800 meters (2.98 miles).
In the opening women's race, a wall of nine runners led from start to finish, with the Huskies' Eleanor Fulton (#2032/photo by Paul Merca), a former world junior championships competitor in 2010 in the steeplechase getting credit for the win in 17:07.
SeattleU's WAC steeple champ Hannah Mittelstaedt was second in 17:08, with unattached runners Maddie Meyers, Katie Flood, Amy-Eloise Neale, Katie Knight, and Liberty Miller getting places 3-7 in the same time.
Unattached runner Kaylee Flanagan was eighth in 17:09, followed by the Huskies' 800 meter specialist Baylee Mires in the same time, and Haley Suarez tenth in 17:14.
The men's race followed the same script, with unattached runners Aaron Nelson, Johnathan Stevens, and Sumner Goodwin going 1-2-3 in 22:18.
Tyler King was the first scoring Husky across the line in 22:18, followed by unattached runners Andrew Gardner and Izaic Yorks in 22:19 and 22:30.
Meron Simon and Tim Cummings of the Huskies were seventh & eighth in 22:30, and unattached runners Jacob Smith (22:33) and AJ Yarnall (22:42) ninth and tenth.
Nathan McLaughlin was the Redhawks' top scorer in eleventh at 22:45.
Washington, which assembled as a team earlier this week, heads off to its annual pre-season camp.
Both teams will see each other on September 14th at the Sundodger Invitational at Lincoln Park, along with Washington State, Idaho, Gonzaga, Eastern Washington, and Oregon State.
