In our first #TuesdayTop10 of the fall semester, photographers Anna McClelland, Katherine Redmond and Gabby Sherwood take you back to early Saturday morning when the cross-country team kicked off its 2018 season with the Lockhart Invitational, a three-kilometer tuneup race at Lockhart City Park. Because it is a tune-up race to prepare for the upcoming season, the race was 1.8 miles long instead of the usual 3.1 miles (or 5 kilometers). Freshman Chris Riley brought home a third-place finish in the 3K race with a time of 10:44. “I didn’t like this course because of the tight turns,” Riley said, “and the heat really made a difference.”
