Kelsey Pence

The Denison women's cross country team placed 14th out of 28 teams at the Gettysburg College Invitational in Gettysburg, Pa.  Denison was led by senior Kelsey Pence (Columbus, Ind./Columbus North) and sophomore Ani Mutafova (Canton, Ohio/Jackson) who placed 56th and 57th, respectively out of a field of 289 runners.  Pence covered the 6K course in 26:04.57 and Mutafova was right behind at 26:07.64.

Following that Denison duo was a trio of Big Red runners who all finished in the top-100. Freshman Julie Cantelon (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) placed 83rd overall with a time of 26:41.36.  Her classmate Anne Mcginty (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon) was 89th in 26:50.86 and junior Ashley Putnam (North East, Pa./North East) took 91st with a time of 26:54.65.

The Big Red's final team score took a major blow due to a disqualification to the top three finishers in the race.  Denison boasted the second-fastest indiviudal time before the penalty was assessed.

DU will return to action on Oct. 31 at the North Coast Athletic Conference Championship in Delaware, Ohio.
