HONOLULU—Under inclement weather, the University of Hawai'i women's cross country team put together a runner-up finish at the Chaminade Invitational Saturday morning at Kapiolani Park. Graduate transfer Shannon McClish paced all runners with a first-place finish, coming down the chute with a time of 19:56.0.
 
Resting last week's squad that finished 15^th overall at the UC Riverside Invitational, head coach Tim Boyce rolled with a six-woman team that logged 41 points, with a scoring order of 1-5-10-11-14.
 
"We rested the majority of the group that competed at Riverside last week," Boyce said. "This was more of an opportunity for the rest of the team to compete and overall they did well. Shannon won comfortably and should be good to go for her first travel trip for us next weekend. Sophia (Morgan) displayed a strong finishing kick to earn top 5 honors. Looking forward to our meet in Sacramento next Saturday."

Finishing second for the Rainbow Wahine, sophomore Sophia Morgan competed in her second 5k race for UH, crossing the finish line 5^th overall (21:57.0). Freshman Lexi Beggan and junior Jeanalyn Wadsack-Myers finished 10^th (22:41.0) and 11^th (22:58.0), respectively.
 
Rounding out the scoring five, freshman Terra Stevens competed in her second collegiate race, producing a 16^th overall finish (23:34.0).
 
Also competing for UH, junior Lisa Tashiro finished 25^th (25:56.0).
 
The Rainbow Wahine will travel to California to compete at the Capital Cross Challenge hosted by Sacramento State, next Saturday September 28^th.
