SOUTH BEND, Ind. – TCU women's cross country competed at the Joe Piane Invitational hosted by Notre Dame on Friday. The Horned Frogs placed 19th in a field that had four top 10 ranked teams, including No.1 Colorado and Arkansas, the top team in the South Central region.
In her second race of the season, Brenley Goertzen finished 20th overall, keeping pace with several 2016 All-Americans. Goertzen finished in 16:48.9, over 15 seconds faster than her previous personal best in the 5,000-meters (17:05.9).
Freshman Evelyn Mandel was the next Horned Frog to finish and recorded a mark of 18:05.8.
FAZIOLI'S THOUGHTS
"We needed to see this level of competition, but we are capable of more. We are solid enough to be top 16-17, but today was a learning experience. Bren will get continue to get better as she races more and get ready for postseason in a month."
Women's cross country returns to action at NCAA Pre-Nationals in Louisville, Ky., scheduled for Oct. 14. The men's next meet is the Incarnate Word Invitational, scheduled for Oct. 7.
