This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.
Maryland cross country finished third at the Navy Invitational this past Saturday, just over a week after the team won the Baltimore Metro Meet. Navy finished first, with George Washington coming in second.
For the second consecutive event, three Terps finished in the top five. Rose Coats paced the group with a third place finish, wrapping up the six-kilometer race in 21 minutes and 56.92 seconds. Katie Altieri and Anna Coffin finished in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
Maryland has a three-week break before its next event: the Lehigh Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 30.
