On the men's side, Chris Korabik was the second Blue Demon to cross the finish line at 25:55.9. Tedeschi and Korabik are both expected to return to the Bradley Classic Friday.
The Blue Demon women are coming off of a second-place finish their last time out at the John Flamer Invitational on Oct. 3. The Blue Demons saw four runners finish in the top ten. Tedeschi won the race with a time of 22:07.4, while Paige Skorseth, Jessica Sanborn and Katerina Cirone followed closely behind by finishing in fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively.
