Penn Relays: Women's distance races

Our two women’s distance runners had solid performances on Thursday night Nicki Nesi, who is redshirting this outdoor season, improved on her time from Bucknell two weeks ago (10:57.79), raced well by moving through the field and finished in 10:51.58. Kristen Traub battled through a lot of traffic, made strong and powerful moves throughout the race and finished in 9:57.00. Neither time is a PR, but the effort was great on a cold and damp evening at Franklin Field. Note that my splits here were taken from the finish line.
