Thomas Leads Cross Country in Final Tune-Up

In the team's final tune-up before the Great South Athletic Conference Championship, Belle Thomas led a steadily improving Wesleyan squad at the Oglethorpe Classic.

The two-time GSAC Runner of the Week continued her consistent season with an 11th place showing. She completed the course in 21:42.67 against a field stacked with Division I and II competitors.

Wesleyan finished seventh in the nine-team field, but seemed to close the gap on one of the top GSAC contenders, Spelman College.

Miriam Oakes (42nd), Kaitlyn Rentz (44th), Amanda Holliday (58th), Taylor Lyle (69th) and Aditi Dey (73rd) rounded out the Wesleyan side.
