Estabrook Double Winner at Green Invite
JACKSONVILLE, Ill. - Eagle senior, Sarah
Estabrook, came away with two first place finishes at the Jim Green Indoor Invite at Illinois College today.
Estabrook won the mile and the 5k events.
In the indoor mile,
Estabrook took first in a field of 42 runners coming with a time of 5:16.65 and over 8 seconds ahead of the second place finisher, Lia Kruse from Greenville. Sarah then came back to run the
5000m and ran away from a field of 24 runners with her time of 18:07.39 for a NAIA "A" qualifier and No. 7 in the NAIA this season.
Said Coach Mark Mandi about Estabrook, "Sarah ran with a lot of poise and confidence in the 5k and was able to learn a lot from her mile earlier that day. The races were run on a flat, 200m track which was the first time we had ever done that, so there were some technical racing aspects we were able to learn and improve on from race to race."
