Led by senior Jodey Johnson, the Red Storm cross country team claimed a first place team victory in the 4K race Sunday afternoon at the St. John’s Fall Festival at Cunningham Park.
Johnson finished first overall in the race with a time of 15:23.46 and was one of three Storm athletes to finish in the top five.
Rakibat Abiola finished with a 15:30.61, earning the sophomore a third-place finish. Teammate Jane Vongvorachoti contributed a 15:41.74, good enough for a fifth-place finish overall for the senior.
