It was a good season opener for the Jamestown College women’s cross country team.

Competing against three NCAA Division II teams, the Jimmies finished second in the season’s first competition. The University of Mary finished with a low score of 30, followed by JC (46), Minnesota State-Moorhead (57) and host Bemidji State (106).

Conlon, a sophomore from Jamestown, covered the 5K course in 18:58.91, coming in second overall. MSUM’s Anna VanWechel won the individual title in 18:31.28.

Bossler, a senior from Helena, Mont., came in sixth. She finished in 19:20.78.

Bentley, a junior from Lewistown, Mont., ran 19:49.23 to come in ninth.

Three other Jimmies finished in the top 20.

Cambrya Belter (20:24.20), Madey Hornung (20:29.03) and Ashleigh Anderson (20:59.58) finished 14-15-16 for JC.
