Last Time Out
The Red Raiders opened the 2023 season almost two weeks ago in Cheyenne, Wyo., as part of the Wyoming Open with each of the men and women teams taking third. The women were the first to kickoff the 5k meet as two newcomers paced the way placing in the top-4. Juliet Cherubet finished second overall with a time of 17:55.8 while Anastasia Chepkorir placed fourth crossing at 18:13.1.
