Peoples said Appalachian State coaches showed interest in Godlock after the race, joining a handful of colleges recruiting the Wolverine standout.

Forbush’s Anna-Kathryn Kilby outkicked Brevard’s Eliza Witherspoon down the stretch to win the race with a time of 18:54.77, some three seconds ahead of Witherspoon.
