SEATTLE – Washington's cross country teams only just reported to campus but already the Dawgs got one race under their belts, looping around one of the fields at Magnuson Park in a dual meet with Seattle U. The Huskies will now start to put in the work at their fall training camps and round into form over the fall, looking to peak at the NCAA Championships in November.

Both the 5th-ranked women's team and the 25^th-ranked men's team put the top-eight finishers across the line. The women had Chloe Foerster and Julia David-Smith finish together, just a couple steps ahead of India Weir and Maeve Stiles, followed soon by Claire Yerby, Tori Herman, Ella Borsheim, and Josephine Welin. Foerster and David-Smith clocked 17:53 for the 5,000-meters.

Picking up right where they left off ... Chloe Foerster and Julia David-Smith cross the finish together this morning.
