Her sister Andrea, a grad transfer, takes 25th (in point scoring finish) and
Erin Strzecki is right behind her in 26th The Markezich sisters and Erin all are All-American (top 40 are designated AA's).

Olivia ran the 6000 meters in 19:10, 15 seconds behind winner Parker Valby of Florida. She finished ahead of NC State's Katelyn Touhy, who like Olivia, is an XC and track standout. She led NC State to a third straight championship, followed by Northern Arizona, Oklahoma State and the Irish. By the way, NC State won by a single point, 123-124, and did so despite their #2 runner being on crutches and not racing. That's depth.
