HAVERFORD, Pa. - Despite some rainy weather delaying the start of the annual Alumnae/Open race into the 6 p.m. hour, the Haverford College women's cross country team had a great chance to open up the season without the stifling heat that has made its way into the area over the past week, welcoming back four alums to campus for a friendly but spirited competition.

Hannah Yeakey '21 won the three-mile race in 19:22, followed by unattached runner and Haverford College professor Carola Binder crossing in 19:38. Lena Edelstein '09 was third in 19:43, while Griffin Kaulbach '21 was fourth (20:09).

Julianna Watson was the top varsity finisher, crossing in 20:25, while Alice Sappenfield (20:26), Savannah Shaw (20:33), Dominique Monroy (20:45), Jessie Hausman (21:15), and Carly Priest (21:16) rounded out the top 10. 

Anna Berry (21:36), Audrey Carter (21:42), Anastasia Jaycobs (22:02), Sophia Furman (22:30), Poppy Chrisman (23:00), Grace Chen (23:28), Claire Parsons (23:32), Grace Hannigan (24:24), and Judy Xie (24:38) also competed for the Fords.
