HELENA, Mont. – Seniors Madison Liechty and Ty Mogan were Montana State's top women's and men's team finishers at the Carroll College Early Bird Open on Friday, Sept. 6, as the Bobcat cross country teams made their 2019 season debuts at Bill Roberts Golf Course.

Mogan was the fastest runner in the men's 8-kilometer race with a time of 25 minutes, 15.40 seconds. He was followed by sophomore Isaac Schmidt (25:47.90) and redshirt junior Cameron Carroll (25:57.90) with each finishing second and third, respectively. Teagan Olson finished fifth overall by earning a time of 26:47.60 and Gannon Chamberlain placed seventh behind a mark of 27:12.40.

The Montana State women's squad was represented by three runners. Liechty placed first among attached runners and second overall by completing a mark of 19:17.10. Kathleen Glockner finished third overall by finishing with a time of 19:24.00. Samantha Kelderman took seventh in the women's 5K coming in at 20:06.90.

"The meet was a really great way to start the season," said Lyle Weese, Montana State's director of cross country. "We had a number of solid men's and women's performances which really signaled that we can put together a great fall of cross country as a team."

Montana State will return to action on Sept. 21 when the Bobcats host their annual Cross Country Classic at Bridger Creek Golf Course in Bozeman.
