BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana opened its 2022 cross country season on Friday night with the MSU Bobcat Twilight. Competing against runners from Carroll College and Montana State, the Grizzlies had four of the top-13 runners on the women's side and one top-10 finish in the men's 5K race.
Returner Beatrix Frissell was Montana's top finisher overall, placing seventh out of 25 female runners (19:12). She was followed closely behind by teammates Iris McKean (19:50, 10th) and Kayla Ingraham (19:53, 11th), who both cracked 20 minutes. McKean, a freshman, was making her collegiate debut.
Jaylyn Hallgrimson (20:10, 13th), Bridget Boyle (20:50, 16th), Abby Sherwood (21:16, 21st) and Leah Gath (22:45, 24th) rounded out the Grizzly runners, while MacKenzie Dean did not finish.
Nathan Carter was Montana's top finisher in the men's race, finishing at 16:00 (10th). Fellow returners Rogelio Mares (16:15, 12th), Will Dauenhauer (16:33, 14th), Brady Woods (16:39, 16th) and Casey Crouch (16:49, 18th) were all under 17 minutes.
Making his collegiate debut, Colin Shaules placed 23rd (17:31.3). Fellow freshmen Lane Cole and Josh Haynes did not finish.
Most of Montana's male runners had never run a 5K distance before. The women's team ran a handful of 5K races last fall, and although no runners were close to their career bests on Friday, head coach Doug Fraley said earlier this week that he wanted to use this meet as an early-season barometer.
Montana State (15 points) won both the men's and women's races. The Grizzlies totaled 56 points in both races, finishing second, while Carroll placed third (67 points in the women's race, 69 in the men).
The Grizzlies will be back in Bozeman in two weeks.
