Results of Saturday's PSU National Invite, women's 6K, at the Penn State golf course.
Merten (FL) led throughout, but was followed closely by Wale (PSU) for 2 miles before pulling away for a comfortable win. Wale, a freshman, has emerged as Penn State's best runner this season and was named Big Ten female XC athlete of the week last week. The team race was up for grabs much of the way, but JMU's superior grouping (34s for 1-5) carried the day.
