Bethlehem, Pa. – The Stevens Institute of Technology women's cross-country team had two runners compete at the Lehigh-hosted Paul Short Run on Friday.

Competing in the Open Race amidst a field of more than 400 featuring runners from more than 25 Division I institutions including more than half of the schools in the Ivy League, Caitlyn Adamchuk and Kaley Byhre completed the 6K course for Stevens.

Adamchuk crossed the finish line in 28:57.7. She was near the back of the pack at the 2-mile checkpoint but moved up 33 places over the final 1.7 miles.

In her first collegiate meet, Byhre ran 29:33.4. Like Adamchuk, she was near the back of the pack at the 2-mile marker, but jumped 26 places by the end of the race

The Championship Race, with 10 additional Ducks slated to compete, was canceled.
