BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana cross-country teams began the 2011 campaign with the Indiana Open on Saturday morning in Bloomington. IU's Molly Winters crossed the line first in the women's race and freshman John Mascari ran unattached and won the men's race.
In the women's race, Indiana placed in each of the top six positions all within 1:03 of each other. Winters crossed the line with a winning time of 19:01.48. She was followed by Helene DeLone (19:08.99), Christine Kirby (19:13.82), Ashley Seymour (19:30.68), Haley Staples (19:55.50) and Jordan Gray (20:04.29), to round out those top six runners. Ashley Baker and Ruth Christopher also competed for the Hoosiers finishing eighth and ninth, respectively.
On the men's side, Indiana runners ran at a controlled pace to begin their season. The unattached Mascari clocked in at first place with a time of 26:06.11. Also running unattached and finishing behind Mascari were Kyle Overway (26:32.10) in second place, Owen Skeete (26:52.49) in third and Morgan Welsh (27:23.29) placed fourth.
The Hoosiers will return to the course on Friday as IU hosts the annual Indiana Intercollegiates at the IU Championship Cross Country Course. The event is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET.
