...race in a definitely decent time of 17:13.94, but since she had already qualified for Nationals at last week's Ivies, the time wasn't particularly important. Teammate Gwen Knapp said although Gildea's closest competitor kept up with her, the competition never really pushed her. "Maureen was definitely in command of the race," she added...
