Freshman Hayleigh Cummings was Saline’s fastest over the finish line. She was fourth in 19:30.2. Senior Kelly Hall was seventh in 19:38. Lindsay Walter set an all-time personal mark, finishing eighth in 19:40. Hall and Walter led a pack of Hornets over the finish line. Alyssa Cummings (9th, 19:41), Elianna Shwayder (10th, 19:41), Gloria Park (11th, 19:42) and Gillian Walter (12th, 19:42) rounded out the Hornet top seven. 

It was Saline’s eighth win of the season.
