LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A personal record run of 18:35.76 for Laurel Wolfe saw her lead the University of Evansville women's cross country team while Josh Genet led the men in the Greater Louisville Classic on Saturday morning.
 
Several runners for the Purple Aces set their top times with great running conditions at Tom Sawyer State Park.
 
Wolfe's run in the blue race bested her previous top time of 18:45.23, which was set in last year's UE Invitational where she came in seventh place.  Today's run put her in 22^nd place out of 352 participants.  
 
Next up for the women was Kirsten Perrey, who took 83^rd place with a time of 19:12.04.  The effort was over a minute quicker than her previous best this season.  Coming home in 94^th place was Elizabeth Kingshott, who finished with a time of 19:16.71.  Her time was the best effort since her freshman season.
 
Fourth for the ladies was Loren Oboikovitz.  The senior ran what was by far her best 5K time at UE.  She ran the course in a time of 19:42.52, besting her old PR by 50 seconds.  That mark was set in this season's Belmont Opener.  Sophie Etienne rounded out the Aces' top five with a 20:27.97.  The run was a PR for Etienne, topping last year's 20:45.93 at the UE Invitational.
 
Michelle Karp was next for the Aces, finishing the race in 20:57.01.  It was over a minute better than her previous PR from this season.  Anna Loef's PR of 20:58.91 followed.  That was her first sub-21 minute 5K race for Evansville.  Newcomer Katie Prosser also ran the quickest race of her career at UE, finishing in 21:24.79 while Brittney Stockman set her mark with a 24:10.37.

Sophomore Ben Woolems ran his best race of 2014.  A 27:43.10 was nearly a minute better than his previous top time of the season.  Running a time of 28:03.18 was fellow sophomore Ross Frondorf, which was almost two minutes quicker than his best race of the season.
