Redshirt senior Liz Berkholtz led wire to wire and finished in 21:48.3, winning the individual title at the annual Oz Memorial. The Gophers also defeated No. 1 Iowa State at the four-team meet by a score of 33-37, though the Cyclones held out some of their top runners.

 

“I was taken aback because I expected Iowa State to bring their top runners, and they ended up not running their top three, and that changed my race strategy,” Berkholtz said.
