CSU posted a ninth-place finish at the meet, which included area teams Northwestern and host Northern Illinois along with Milwaukee and Green Bay.
Sophomore Neshia Robertson (South Holland, IL/Thornwood) (South Holland, Ill.) paced the Cougar contingent in the meet as she completed the 5K race following hot, summerlike conditions and a rolling hill course with a time of 22:45.81, good for a 74th-place finish.
