Houser led the women with a time of 19:17 on the five-kilometer course, which averages out to a 6:12-per-mile split. “She did a good job getting position,” Saretsky said, “and her workouts are going well, so I’m excited to see how she does throughout the season.” Following her were freshmen Meghan Cleary, at 62nd overall with...
