ANGOLA, Ind. (Sept. 15, 2019) - Building on their momentum to start the season, the North Central College women's triathlon team scored a second-place team finish at the Trine University Triple Sprint Triathlon on Saturday, highlighted by two top-ten individual finishes.

At this particular competition, each competitor ran three races throughout the day with their time of each race adding up to an overall time. Their overall time then determined their individual place and the teams were scored traditionally with the top three finishers for each team scoring, one point for first, two points for second, etc. to determine team finishes.

Drury University won as a team with 10 points, the Cardinals scored 27 for second, and Daemen was third with 42. University of San Fransico's Kathryn Badham was the top individual finisher with a time of 1 hour, 21 minutes, 35 seconds.

Madelyn Scopp was once again the top North Central finisher at fourth place with an overall time of one hour, 23 minutes, 57 seconds with her fastest completion of the course at 27 minutes, 43 seconds during her second race. The other top-ten finish for the Cardinals was Annika Cotner with a time of 1:25:37. Cotner also ran her fastest race of the day during her second race with a time of 27:59. Molly Olk (1:31:33) rounded out the scoring for the Cardinals with a 15th place finish, with her first race of the day as her fastest (30:18). 

Cora Isaacson (1:35:43) was the next Cardinal finisher, taking 22nd place. Andrea Zwonitzer (1:38:28) finished 28th and Amelia Woods (1:45:32) placed 37th to round out the North Central competitors in the competition.

The Cardinals are off for two weeks again before competing in the Milwaukee School of Engineering Splash and Dash on Sept. 28.
