VERNON HILLS, Ill. - The Lake Forest College cross country teams hosted the Forester Invitational at Half Day and Wright Woods Forest Preserves on Saturday (September 26). The Foresters women placed fifth out of 11 complete teams and the men finished ninth. Illinois Institute of Technology won both the women's and men's team competition.

Freshman Sarah Peluse (Buffalo Grove, Ill./Buffalo Grove) led the women's team for the first time in her career. She completed the 5-kilometer course in 19 minutes and 29 seconds, the seventh-best time in team history. Junior Ryann Freeman (Northfield, Minn./Northfield), Lake Forest's top runner in each of the first two meets of this season and all of 2008, placed 12th and matched the program's 15th-fastest time with a career-best 19:54. Senior Hadley Skeffington-Vos (Minburn, Iowa/Adel-DeSoto-Minburn) finished 39th in 21:09 and junior Brecklind Golovich-Keie (East Jordan, Mich./Charlevoix) came in just two places and five seconds later. Sophomore Amanda Glasgow (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) completed the team's top five, placing 46th in 21:24. Thirteen of the 16 Foresters in the race ran the fastest 5K of their career.

The Lake Forest men's team also had a different leader on Saturday. Sophomore Kelsey Small (Wallingford, Conn./Notre Dame) paced the squad with a 33rd place time of 28:07 on the 8-kilometer course. Classmate Peter Sullivan (Lockport, Ill./Lockport), the team's top runner the last two weeks, finished 38th in 28:23 and junior Evan Piermont (East Hampton, N.Y./East Hampton) was 48th and matched his career-best time of 28:48. Sophomore J.D. Randol (Topeka, Kan./Seaman) placed 81st in exactly 31 minutes and junior Mills McIlroy (Canton, Mich./Greenhills School) was 86th in 31:14. Both marks were career-best times.
