The College of Wooster cross country teams hosted the ninth annual Wooster Relays on Wednesday, as the Fighting Scots along with Edinboro University and Hiram College took part in one last competition, in preparation for their respective upcoming conference meets. It was not a team-scored event.

The unique meet saw the women run four separate intervals, which added up to 5400 meters, while the men also went out on the course four times for a total of 6800 meters.

Wooster’s top overall finisher was senior Mark DeWine, who earned fourth with a time of 21:26, only placing behind three NCAA Div. II runners from Edinboro. Also among the top-10 for the Scot men were junior Terry Workman and freshman Micah Caunter, as they came in sixth (21:40) and ninth (22:30), respectively.

The women’s meet also saw three Wooster harriers among the top-10. Leading the way was sophomore Suzanne Capehart in sixth overall, collecting a time of 20:01, while a group of five from Edinboro were ahead of her, all by less than a minute. Just behind Capehart were first-year teammates Sarah Appleton in eighth (21:04) and Meredith Shaul in 10th (21:18).

Next for the Scots is the North Coast Athletic Conference Championships on Saturday, Nov. 1, at Oberlin College.
