Led by Brittany Peterson's 73rd place finish, St. Scholastica finished in 20th place at the Roy Griak Invitational in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, in Saturday morning's 6,000 meter race.

Peterson finished in a season-best 25 minutes and 26 seconds over the 6K course, followed closely behind by Erin Reicks in 86th place with a time of 25:42.

Megan Salo (26:11) and Tara Connolly (26:46) each clocked personal best times at the meet.

All five point-scoring runners for the Saints finished in the top half of the 395 racer field.

St. Scholastica ran the race without two of their normally top-five racers as both Jess Weickert and Stacy Kantola were unable to run.
