By David Rogers. BOONE, N.C. — While Wake Forest and Florida State harriers dominated the “top 10” finishers in the Covered Bridge Open on Sept. 15, Appalachian State used a cluster of scorers junior Jasmine Donohue’s No. 26 finish and junior Catherine Breault’s No. 46 to secure a fourth place team finish.
Out of 119 athletes competing from 14 schools, Florida State senior Alyson Churchill was first to cross the finish line after a 5k run on the Don Kennedy Trails, stopping the clock in 16:08.30, a full 40 seconds ahead of Wake Forest’s second place competitor, freshman Brooke Wilson (16:48.41). The Demon Deacons had five runners place in the top 10, the Seminoles four in the top 11.
Abbey D’Agostino Cooper, now a Boone-based former professional runner at 5,000 meters and U.S. Olympic team member in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, was No. 3 in the Covered Bridge Open identified as running for New Balance, crossing the finish line in 16:59.88.
At No. 26, Donohoe was the Mountaineers’ top finisher in 18:17:44, followed by No. 29 Karson Kane, No. 33 Rhys Ammon, No. 34 Linnea Maynard, and No. 43 Breault.
