MM 10.2: Maryland cross country competes at Paul Short Run

This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Maryland cross country placed 17th out of 44 teams at the Paul Short Run, hosted by Lehigh University, this past weekend.

The Terps were led by graduate Anna Coffin, whose time of 21:18.1 in the Women’s College Gold 6K was good enough for 49th place in a field of close to 400 runners. Coffin was one of nine Terps to compete in the race.

”The group did a really great job working their way up throughout this race and tactically executing the second half,” head coach Andrew Valmon said. “[Coffin] especially made some big moves that propelled her toward the front pack of this competitive race.”

Junior Katie Altieri also secured a top-100 finish in the event.

Elsewhere, two Terps competed the Women’s Open 6K. Junior Katerina Talanova finished in 88th place with a time of 23:53.0.

Maryland will return to action in two weeks for the XC23, hosted by Virginia.
