BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Baylor cross country finalized their regular season schedule on Friday morning at the Dale Watts Cross Country Course for the Arturo Barrios Invitational. In one of the Bears’ largest meets of the season, the women’s squad was led by freshman Rosanna Pugh to a 34th-place finish while senior Ryan Hodge led the men in 31st place.



THE RUNDOWN

As has been the case in every meet this season, Hodge took the torch for BU and finished first in the men’s 8,000 meters. His time of 24:11.3 put him 48th in the field of 365 runners.



Following Hodge, junior Devin Duran was just over a minute back in 225th place after 25:38.8. With nearly another minute passed, sophomore Caleb Ackman tabbed his spot in 261st with Straton Miller in 276th, Aiden Ramshaw in 287th, Kanalu Wong in 347th and Zach Zawatski in 358th.



The women’s race featured a new freshman getting the team’s first-place nod, as Pugh improved on her 6,000-meter collegiate-best time by just under two minutes, crossing in 21:48.8 for 169th.



Hayden Gold, no stranger to the front of the pack, took 202nd in the race with a 22:05.4 and was followed by Jackie Addy in 238th, Jordan Ledington in 253rd, Alaina Zamorano in 314th, Chloe Gangnath in 321st, Abigail Morris in 340th and Kat Helmer in 369th.



Every Bear in the women’s race improved her time from the Gans Creek Classic 6,000 meters, while Ackman, Duran, and Hodge clocked a quicker mark in the men’s 8,000 meters.
