The women finished 3rd as a team.

[Molly] Seidel, a senior from Hartland, Wisconsin, pulled away from the competition in the women’s 6k-championship event Friday morning at the 2015 ACC Cross Country Championships, which was hosted by Florida State at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Florida.

The title-winner, however, was not the only member of the Fighting Irish squad earning headlines. A true team effort, the veteran finished just ahead of freshman standout Anna Rohrer. The pair became the first female teammates to finish one-two at the ACC championships since Duke’s Shannon Rowbury and Clara Horowitz in 2005.

Seidel and Rohrer started their pursuit early, both in front of the pack of conference foes at the 3k mark. The duo continued this trend at 5k, and ultimately concluded the race in the same fashion. A time of 19:36.2 won the title for Seidel, while Rohrer, a native for Mishawaka, Indiana, registered a time of 20.08.3 for second place.
