Jamie Cheever led the Golden Gophers with a third-place finish at the Jack’s Run, a race that honors the late Minnesota equipment manager Jack Johnson. The race is open to the public with proceeds supporting the Jack Johnson Endowed Scholarship and the Angel Foundation of Minnesota.
Cheever covered the 5-kilometer course at the Les Bolstad Golf Course in a time of 18 minutes, 47.59 seconds. Former Gopher All-American Emily Brown won the race in 18:30.74.
The meet was not a team scoring event. Other Gophers finishing in the top 10 were Kelly Wilson in fourth (18:56.02), Katie Dyson in sixth (19:09.65) and Claire Rindo in ninth (19:28.03).
The Gophers rested their top eight runners in preparation for the upcoming Big Ten Championships on Sunday, Nov. 1. Minnesota is the two-time defending champion in the event.
