"I am very pleased with the opening effort from the squad today," head coach Corbin Talley said. "They put in a very strong summer and it was nice to see them open up with some good performances."

The top seven team finishes include Visser who led the squad with a time of 20:51.14, Wesley Kallgren was the next Wildcat to cross the finish line with a tenth place finish and a time of 21:08.42, Owen Rogers finished 15th at 21:18.09, Hanokh Gailson finished 19th at 21:23.57, Ty Davis finished 21st with a time of 21:26.06, Taylor Knight finished 25th at 21:28.44 and TJ Warnick finished 27th at 21:32.93.

"Peter, Wes, and Owen ran our fastest three times we've ever had on that course," Talley said. "And I was really pleased with the effort we saw from some of our young guys."

Both Evan Harris and Brady Christensen ran unattached, Harris finished 18th at 21:21.66 and Christensen finished 24th at 21:27.6.

"It's a good crew. They are working very well together, learning a lot about themselves, and willing to put a lot of heart into their racing," Talley said.
