WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY · COMPLETED-EVENT REPORT · SEPTEMBER 11, 2026

## Executive brief

Lenoir-Rhyne finished 11th with 324 points and UVA Wise placed 15th with 454 at the Queen City Invite women’s 5K on September 11\. In a field of 26 classified teams, the Bears finished four places and 130 points ahead of the Highland Cavaliers. Both covered schools completed a five-runner scoring group. The strongest distinction between them was visible throughout those groups: each Lenoir-Rhyne scorer finished ahead of her corresponding UVA Wise scorer. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

Brooke Reynolds led Lenoir-Rhyne in 19:07.7, while Alexsis Porter led UVA Wise in 19:57.6\. Lenoir-Rhyne’s first-to-fifth spread was 2:19.6; UVA Wise’s was 4:17.6\. The difference between those spreads was 1:58.0\. That is a comparison of recorded finishes within this race, not an explanation of either team’s preparation, strategy or fitness.

## Official results

Elon won the team competition with 24 points. Charlotte followed with 63, Marshall scored 75 and North Florida finished with 88\. Lenoir-Rhyne’s 11th-place total came from scoring positions 32, 61, 67, 77 and 87\. UVA Wise’s 15th-place score combined positions 49, 74, 100, 106 and 125\. The complete official team standings appear below, together with the individual results for the two covered schools.

Overall finish positions must be distinguished from scoring positions. Reynolds was 41st across the line but contributed 32 points to her team; Porter was 67th overall and contributed 49\. Using their overall places in the team calculation would produce incorrect totals. The report preserves both columns rather than treating them as interchangeable. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

## Performance analysis

Lenoir-Rhyne’s advantage was distributed across all five scoring slots. Comparing the teams’ first, second, third, fourth and fifth scoring positions yields differences of 17, 13, 33, 29 and 38 points, respectively. Those five differences account for the full 130-point team margin. The larger differences came in the third through fifth positions, although the first two positions also contributed to the result. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

For the Bears, Rosey Parnell, Tigist Siler and Amy Mendoza Lopez finished between 20:21.7 and 20:53.0—a span of 31.3 seconds across the second through fourth scoring runners. Caitlyn Christie completed the scoring five in 21:27.3\. Those recorded finishes give the report a concrete description of the group’s distribution without suggesting that the runners stayed together throughout the race; no intermediate splits were supplied. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

UVA Wise’s second scorer, Amelia Lewis, finished in 20:44.7\. Shaylen Cannon followed in 22:00.2, Sadie Brewer in 22:11.3 and Kaylen Fields in 24:15.2\. The gap between Brewer and Fields was 2:03.9\. It was the largest adjacent gap among the Cavaliers’ first five recorded finishes. This identifies where the scoring group stretched out at the finish, while leaving the reasons for that separation open.

## Individual impact

Reynolds set the Bears’ leading mark at 19:07.7\. Parnell was 80th overall in 20:21.7, Siler 86th in 20:30.4, Mendoza Lopez 99th in 20:53.0 and Christie 114th in 21:27.3\. Charlotte Miller finished 118th in 21:35.1 and Mia Wicks 133rd in 22:01.5, occupying the sixth and seventh scoring positions for Lenoir-Rhyne. Layla Fuller was 178th in 25:40.1\. Emilia Dabadie was listed as DNS. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

Porter’s 19:57.6 led the Cavaliers. Lewis finished 96th overall, Cannon 132nd, Brewer 140th and Fields 166th. Jayda Hilton added a 173rd-place finish in 24:49.9 and held the team’s sixth scoring position, 128\. Kiley Adair and Ella Rasnake were listed as DNS. Neither is included among the timed finishers or assigned a scoring contribution in this report. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

## Conference context

The 2026 South Atlantic Conference preseason coaches poll placed Lenoir-Rhyne fifth and UVA Wise ninth. Queen City supplied an early shared-race comparison between those programs, with Lenoir-Rhyne ahead in both place and points. The poll remains preseason context: this invitational did not award a conference championship, and its overall finishing order is not a current SAC standings table. [\[Source\]](https://lrbears.com/news/2026/8/27/mens-cross-country-mens-and-womens-cross-country-picked-to-finish-fifth-in-the-sac.aspx?ref=mayberrysports.com)

The evidence supports that limited comparison more strongly than any broader claim about the conference race. Not every SAC program is represented in this women’s field. One result therefore cannot establish either school’s position against the full conference or show that a preseason projection has been confirmed or overturned. [\[Source\]](https://lrbears.com/news/2026/8/27/mens-cross-country-mens-and-womens-cross-country-picked-to-finish-fifth-in-the-sac.aspx?ref=mayberrysports.com)

## Outlook

Lenoir-Rhyne identified Queen City as its season opener, with the Converse Kickoff scheduled for September 19\. For subsequent coverage, the useful reference points are Reynolds’ leading finish, the distribution of the next four scorers and the team’s 324-point result. Comparisons with another meet will need to account for its field, distance and course rather than interpreting a faster raw time as automatic improvement. [\[Source\]](https://lrbears.com/news/2026/9/11/mens-cross-country-cross-country-opens-season-at-queen-city-invite.aspx?ref=mayberrysports.com)

UVA Wise leaves this race with a documented baseline of 454 points and a 4:17.6 scoring-five spread. Later reports can examine whether its scoring group finishes more closely together, while checking the circumstances of each event. This packet does not include a verified next meet for UVA Wise, so no future fixture or predicted outcome is asserted here. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

## Scoring pack

The scoring calculations reconcile exactly: Lenoir-Rhyne’s 32 + 61 + 67 + 77 + 87 equals 324; UVA Wise’s 49 + 74 + 100 + 106 + 125 equals 454\. Sixth and seventh scoring positions are preserved in the source record but are not added to those five-runner totals. The first-to-fifth spreads use the timed finishes of the same five scoring runners. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

## Course distance and field

The women’s race covered 5,000 meters on the Larry McAfee Course at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. The complete official individual table contains 222 timed finishers among 269 listed entries. Listed entries and finishers are different counts: a DNS entry does not represent a completed race. The team table contains 26 classified teams. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

## Methodology

Team standings, points, athlete times and scoring positions come from the official TFRRS result tables. The school recap corroborates Lenoir-Rhyne’s placement and season-opening context; the separately dated preseason article supplies conference context. Team points and finish spreads were recalculated from the official individual rows. Academic-year labels are omitted to keep the focus on verified race results. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

Official team total-time displays and sums of individual times to tenths are not identical in the source. This report uses the official points and individual finish times without attributing that discrepancy to an unverified rounding rule. No weather, intermediate splits, injury information, lineup intent or personal-best claim is inferred. DNS means did not start; no finish time is manufactured for those entries. [\[Source\]](https://www.tfrrs.org/results/xc/27434/Queen%5FCity%5FInvite?ref=mayberrysports.com)

Finish place and scoring place are separate. Team points sum the first five scoring positions. DNS: did not start; DNF: did not finish. A dash indicates no scoring place.
