CONWAY, S.C. – Graduate Carolien Millenaar picked up her first Demon Deacon win as the Wake Forest women's cross country team earned their first victory of the season at the Chanticleer Challenge.
The Deacs women had eight finishers place in the top 16, collecting 25 points to secure the team victory.
Wake Forest's first place finish (25) edged out Elon (58), Charleston Southern (104), Campbell and College of Charleston (119) in the top five.
Millenaar's first place finish was the first of her Wake Forest career; she finished with a time of 17:33.4. Elise Wright notched one of her best collegiate finishes with a time of 17:48.2, placing her at the third spot in the order. After Wright's impressive finish, the Deacs would follow that up with five runners placing from the sixth spot to the 10th spot.
The Deacs return to competition on Oct. 8 when they race at the Royals Challenge in Charlotte, NC.
ASHLEY BASTRON QUOTE
"I'm really proud of the fight and collective team effort I saw today. The women executed the race plan beautifully and it's always great to see them packed up and rolling together. Carolien (Millenaar) had another strong race leading the team and getting the win. Our depth continues to be exciting and we're already looking forward to racing in Tallahassee in two weeks."
