PRINCETON, N.J. – The UConn women's cross country team took fourth place at the Princeton Invitational on Saturday morning. The Huskies finished with a total of 118 points.

Junior Mia Nahom was the Huskies' top finisher, coming in second overall out of 212 participants. Nahom completed the race with a time of 21:15. Freshman Randi Burr had another impressive performance, finishing 15^th overall with a time of 21:48. Senior Danielle Jordan was UConn's third finisher, 28^th overall, coming in at a time of 22:18. Rounding out the Huskies' top five finishers were Sophomore Kate Daley, who came in 35^th with a time of 22:35, and Sophomore Celia Chacko, finishing 38^th with a time of 22:27.

Junior Katelyn Romanchick and Senior Ericka Randazzo also performed well for the Huskies. Romanchick came in just behind Chacko in 39^th, with a time of 22:28. Randazzo finished 44^th, coming in at 22:33.

Following the Princeton Invite, Head Coach Lindsay Crevoiserat said, "Today was a great movement forward. There were five teams I knew were going to beat tough to beat and we came away with fourth place. We moved up from seventh place midway to fourth place in the last three kilometers. They climbed well over the second half of the race."

"We had Mia run a great race up front, followed by Randi," said Crevoiserat. "Then we have a solid pack once again. We got our top five in before most team's top five. We're a very deep team, we just need a few to step up a little more and close the gap."

The conference championships are closing in and the Huskies are moving in the right direction. "We are definitely one step closer and this race is leading us well into conference."

Up Next

The Huskies will travel to Memphis, Tennessee for the American Conference Championship. The race is set for Friday, November 1^st at Shelby Farms Park. Race start times will be announced later this week.
