"What a gutsy display of poise, control, and determination..all describes Carmella's commitment in this race today," said Peterson.

Regina Raimo finished 11th (20:45), Taylor Jacobs finished 18th (21:29) with teammate Danna Martinez Porras quickly behind as she finished 19th (21:30). Destiny Hernandez came in 25th (21:47), Kendra Guest came in 27th (22:03) and Tiffany Sanchez finished 37th (26:00).

"I am very proud of our women's team," said Peterson, "Danna had a big breakthrough, and Kendra came down with a cold. Our team battled the whole way but came up short! We have time for sure, and the Lady T-Birds will soar in six weeks at Nationals!"
