Junior Marianne Hogan led the Aztecs for the ninth consecutive race, completing the 5K course in 18 minutes, 28 seconds. Hogan finished third of the 60 runners and only lost to one collegiate competitor.
Josefine Koskinen (16th, 19:27), Taylor Johnson (23rd, 20:00), Hannah Carman (37th, 20:52) and Amanda Okun (39th, 21:06) rounded out SDSU's top five, while Kaitlyn Harrison (40th, 21:17) and Melissa Wendorf (41st, 21:18) were No. 6 and No. 7 on the team, respectively.
The 6K course starts on North Campus Athletic Fields and finishes on the Triton Track. In between there will be varied terrain on grass and dirt trails with sidewalk crossings.
There is limited parking available in front of the Spanos Building, but plenty of spots available in the Hopkins Parking Structure. Follow the Campus Loop Road past the Spanos Building and the track. The HPS will be located on the right side about ½-mile past the Spanos Building. For directions, visit here.
