FloAwards: Allie Ostrander and Boise State Rise Up in Rankings


From the Battle in Beantown in Boston to the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, cross country performances tore up courses around the country to earn the first fall edition of FloAwards. 

FloFrosh

Allie Ostrander (Boise State)
The freshman from Kenai High School in Alaska rolled out a runner-up finish at the Roy Griak Invitational, leading her squad to a team title in Minneapolis. Ostrander finished second to Cal’s Bethan Knights and gathered valuable points for her squad that totaled 37 points over defending NCAA Champs Michigan State. And she did it all just two days after recovering from food poisoning. 


Grant Fisher (Stanford)
The Stanford newcomer made his collegiate debut at the Stanford Invitational with a runner-up finish to his teammate Sean McGorty. Fisher battled for the runner-up finish against Chico State’s William Reyes who finished three seconds behind Fisher. Fisher finished the fast-paced Stanford course in 23:33 while McGorty finished in 23:07.


Lawrence Kipkoech (Campbell)
The XC true freshmen turned out a big time performance at the Panorama Farms Invitational with a runner-up finish to Erik Peterson of Butler. Kipkoech is returning to competition after finishing 10th in the 10K at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in June.
 

FloTeam

Boise State Women
The Broncos threw down a stunning team win over 2014 NCAA Championship team Michigan State at the Roy Griak Invitational. Led by a freshmen trio of Allie Ostrander (2nd), Annie Bothma (3rd) and Minttu Hukka (6th), Boise State tallied 37 points to take down the Spartans’ 116 runner-up team total. The performance catapulted the Broncos to No. 10 in the Saucony Flo50 XC Countdown. 
Michigan State Men
The Spartans turned out a break-out race at the Roy Griak Invitational with a team title over Southern Utah, California, and Colorado State. The squad was led by TJ Carey who finished seventh and led the team to a hard-fought team title of 74 points, 14 points ahead of Southern Utah. The team’s score was possibly the most impressive part of the win as  Carey and the No. 5 runner Chris Collier were separated by just 35 seconds. 
 
Providence Women
The Friars started the first big weekend of XC with a bang after tallying a team total of 42 points over No. 18-ranked Syracuse, and previously No. 4-ranked Georgetown. Led by a 1-2 punch by Catarina Rocha and Sarah Collins, Providence captured the team win with all five finishers in the top 16, totaling 85 points ahead of runner-up Syracuse.
 

FloPerformer

Justyn Knight (Syracuse)
The sophomore from Syracuse torched the field at the Battle in Beantown with an individual win over All American Matt McClintock of Purdue. Knight closed in on McClintock with the victory in 23:51 while McClintock finished in 23:52. Knight’s performance helped lead the Orange to a team title with all five scorers in the top 10. 
 
Bethan Knights (California)
Knights turned out an impressive performance Saturday at the Roy Griak Invitational with an individual win in 20:53, 17 seconds ahead of runner-up Allie Ostrander of Boise State. Knight’s finish helped lead the Cal women to a fifth-place team finish in Minneapolis.


Erin Teschuk (North Dakota State)
Teschuk dominated the Stanford Invitational with an individual win in 20:06, seven seconds ahead of Aminat Olowora of Southwestern. Teschuk’s performance was her first race since finishing fifth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the steeplechase.
 

FloPrep

Fiona O’Keeffe (Davis High School)
O’Keeffe rolled on the competition once again at the Stanford Invitational with an individual title to repeat on her performance from last year. The Davis High athlete repeated as champion in a winning time of 16:32, over a minute faster than the runner-up finisher and Davis teammate Sofia Castiglioni. 
 
Phillip Rocha (Arcadia High School)
Rocha delivered another astonishing performance at the Stanford Invitational with an individual win in a nation-leading time of 14:32 over 5K. The Arcadia standout took the victory over Luis Grijalva by 30 seconds. 
 
Grace Ping (Cotter)
The 12-year-old shocked the crowd at the Roy Griak Invitational with a win in the fastest girl’s high school section. Ping already owns six world records for her age group and topped off another impressive race with a victory in 18:12 on the hilly 5K course at Les Bolstad.
