SALEM, Ore. - Led by a third-place finish by senior Brittany Hodgson (Grants Pass, Ore.) and an 11th place finish by sophomore Emily Timmer (Tacoma, Wash./Tacoma Baptist), the Puget Sound women's cross country team finished in eighth place at the competitive Willamette Invitational in Salem, Ore. The Logger men finished 13th in the the 27-team field.
Hodgson finished the 5K race with a time of 17:37.15 to finish third behind Willamette's Sarah Zerzan and Elizabeth Chepkosgei from Alaska Anchorage. Timmer nearly broke into the top ten, finishing with a time of 18:02.60.

On the men's side, Francis Reynolds (Palo Alto, Calif.) led the way, finished 35th with a time of 25:29.25 on the 8k course.
