"I thought they had some good races," head coach Dale Bergeson said. "The weather was good, so it was a good opportunity to see where they were at with our training program. They performed well."
Koziol clocked in with a time of 21:34 to finish 14th out of 82 varsity runners and lead the Lady Hubs to 11th place out of 12 teams with 212 points.
