regular season ends
Returning to where the season started, the UH-Hilo Women’s Cross Country team closed out regular-season competition Saturday morning at HPU’s Sharks Open 6K run at the Kahuku Golf Course on the North Shore of O’ahu.
Olivia Jarvis led the Vulcans with a 17th-place finish as UH-Hilo finished third in the team results among HPU and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Chaminade also competed but did not have enough runners to score as a team.
UH Manoa placed first with runners finishing in the first nine slots as Emile Langschwager took the top spot at a tme of 22:10.0.
On the men’s side, Chaminade won by default as HPU did not have enough runners to score. Silverswords’ Mason Stewart finished first at an 8K time of 29:08.0.
The Vulcans will have two weeks to prepare for the PacWest Conference Championships on Oct. 21 in Fresno, California.
