PEORIA – Anelise Egge set a new career best 6K time and led the Panthers today at the Bradley Pink Classic.
 
Egge finished 46^th out of 258 runners with a time of 22:03.2, besting her previous PR by over 17 seconds. Cailin Kinas was the next to finish for Milwaukee, crossing the finish line in 81^st with a time of 22:29.8.
 
"I think the women would've finished better if we'd gotten a better start, especially by the 2K mark," head coach Andrew Basler said. "We'll learn from it and use it to put ourselves in a better position at the championship in two weeks."
 
Rachel Helm turned in a season-best time of 22:56.1, placing 129^th, and was followed by Anna Gallagher and Brittany Helm in 160^th and 165^th, respectively.
 
As a team, Milwaukee finished 25^th with a score of 552.
 
"As a team, we still haven't had our best weekend of the season yet," associate head coach Jake Reilly said. "We've had some really good individual weekends, but I don't think we've had a complete weekend yet. That gives us a lot of excitement heading into conference in two weeks."
 
Running in the women's 6K "white" race, Eileen Tocco finished with a time of 23:07.7, good enough for 21^st and a new career best. Sara Jochims took 37^th with a career-best time of 23:43.1, and Aubrey Anderson followed closely behind in 38^th with her own career-best time of 23:47.1
 
Up next for the Panthers is the Horizon League Championship meet, which is set for October 28^th and is hosted by Wright State.
