CARY, N.C. – Junior Joaquin Martinez de Pinillios and graduate Carolien Millenaar each placed within the top 10 to pace the Wake Forest men's and women's cross country teams at the Wolfpack Adidas Cross Country Challenge.
The Deacs women finished second in their 5k race while the men placed third in the 6k competition.
Millenaar's seventh place was the first race of her Wake Forest career; she finished with a time of 17:08.7. The Deacs placed six in the top 20 and finished runner ups to host NC State, who finished with 15 points.
Martinez de Pinillos notched his best collegiate finish with a time of 17:51.9 as Wake Forest took three in the the top 11 places to finish with 58 points. Freshman Luke Tewalt was fifth at 17:55.4 while freshman Niall Ryan was 11th (18:14.1).
JOHN HAYES QUOTE
"Today was a great opportunity to see where we are as a team after four weeks of training together. As can be expected, we had some good and some not so good. I'm extremely encouraged by both the men and the women. Both groups have trained hard, are taking care of the details and have really advanced the culture another notch. That will definitely become more evident as the season goes on."
