Concordia-St. Paul placed eighth in the women’s race and seventh in the men’s at the Warrior Invitational in West Salem, Wisconsin. Freshman Estee VerSteeg led the women with a ninth-place finish and set a course record for a CSP runner, while seniors Travis Tock and Josh Krummel recorded season-best finishes to lead the men.

By the Numbers
  • Women: eighth place, 229 points.
  • Men: seventh place, 176 points.
  • VerSteeg: ninth in 22:59.1 for 6K, breaking CSP’s Maple Grove course record of 24:53.6.
  • Tock: 31st in 27:28.8; Krummel: 45th in 28:12.7.
Yes, But

CSP finished outside the top six in both team races, but several runners showed individual progress: VerSteeg reached the top 10 for the second consecutive race, and Anderson, Tock and Krummel each posted their best placements of the season.

What's Next

The Golden Bears compete at the NSIC Championships on November 7 at Yankton Trails in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The men’s 8K is scheduled for 10 a.m., followed by the women’s 6K at 11:15 a.m.

Bottom Line

CSP’s team finishes were modest, but record-setting and season-best performances give the Golden Bears momentum heading into the conference championships.
