CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Seven Aces competed in the Southern Illinois University Open Water 5K Saturday. Senior Christina Schmidgall had the highest finish on the women’s side, coming in 7th place with a 1:01:28.55 finish time. For the men, freshman Ryan Metzger led UE with a 7th place finish and a 1:01:41.79 final time.
“It was a really fun weekend for us, and a great training tool,” said head coach Rickey Perkins. “Ryan and Christina were very impressive, and Christina finished almost six minutes faster than last year against a lot of the women she’ll be facing in meets, so it was a very successful weekend for her.”
The Aces will officially kick off the 2010-11 season when they travel to Fishers, Ind., to take on Butler and St. Louis University this weekend.
