RENO, Nev. – The Hawai'i women's cross country team turned in another strong effort in its third meet of the year, finishing runner-up with 51 points at the Mountain Regional Preview Monday morning.
 
"The team ran really well," said head coach Tim Boyce. "Reno is about 4,500 feet in altitude, so today's efforts were made that much more challenging racing against teams that train at that elevation. So we're very pleased with the results today and it's exactly what we were hoping for this morning overall."
 
Freshman Emilie Kirk Langschwager led the Rainbow Wahine by finishing in second place for the second straight meet to begin her collegiate career, finishing with a time of 23:14.60 to edge out a group of five Utah State runners in the 6k race. Fellow true freshmen Jessica Duran and Abby Crossley followed finishing eighth and ninth, respectively, with Duran coming in with a time of 23:29.20 and Crossley clocking a 23:35.80.
 
Another true freshman, Zola O'Donnell, came in 18th with a time of 24:04.60 while grad transfer Tania Tan rounded out the UH scorers by coming in 22nd with a mark of 24:30.20.
 
Utah State took home the team title with 25 points while Claire Nelson of Nevada won the individual competition with a time of 22:42.60.
 
The Rainbow Wahine will return to competition when they compete in the Charles Bowles Invitational on Sept. 30 in Salem, Ore.
