Ilarda was just on Rocha’s tail at the finish, capturing sixth-place in a time of 9:25.32, while Mullins and Lembo finished seventh (9:26.33) and eighth (9:28.10), respectively.

Additionally, junior Keelin Hollowood (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) ran away with the win in her heat of the 3,000 meters in a time of 10:08.29

Earlier in the day, senior Molly Keating (Rehoboth, Mass.) clocked in at 2:15.41 in the 800 meters.
Also in the mid-distance events, senior Katie Powell (Wrentham, Mass.) finished second in her heat of the 1,000 meters in a personal best of 3:02.37, while graduate-student Devyn Pryor (Dartmouth, Mass.) ran a time of 5:06.66 in the mile.
