TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Washington’s women’s cross-country squad bested a top field Saturday to win the Pre-National Invitational at the LaVern Gibson Championship Course that will host NCAAs next month.
The Husky men’s squad also turned in a solid effort with a fourth-place finish.
The women’s team won Pre-Nationals for the third time and first since winning back-to-back titles in 2008 and 2009. The eighth-ranked Huskies ran composed and ran together except for senior Katie Rainsberger, who was at the front of the race throughout and led the women with a sixth-place finish.
Washington edged Brigham Young 84 to 87.
