TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona State cross-country team had six athletes compete at the inaugural 2015 UA Twilight race at Quincie Douglas Park in Tucson.
Both men and women's teams did not have enough runners participate to score as a team, but head coach Louie Quintana wanted his younger athletes earning more competition.
Redshirt sophomore Cody Brazeal and redshirt freshman Nick Dale both finished in the top-10. Brazeal cross the line in fourth with a time of 21:13.00 while Dale turned in a time of 21:27.00 for seventh.
Fellow teammate and redshirt freshman J.P. Nelson came in eleventh with a time of 21:54.00, while redshirt sophomore Jack Balder rounded out the Sun Devil men with a 20th-place finish at 24:09.00.
On the women's side, just junior Mia Townsend and redshirt freshman Lea Patek made the trek to Tucson. They would finish 13th and 10th respectively. Townsend completed the three-mile course in 20:19.00 while Patek finished in 19:28.00.
The Sun Devils will compete and race with a full team next Friday, Oct. 16 at the Wisconsin adidas Invitational in Madison.
