SCOUTING THE GUSTIES

In 2025, the women's team finished third with a score of 116, just four points ahead of Macalester. Molly Liston '26 led the team in third place but the rest of the scorers were first-years, setting up Gustavus for success in 2026. 

Sophomore Addison Enfield (Northfield, Minn.) was named All-Conference last year with her 14th place finish and classmate Anna Forbord (Northfield, Minn.) earned Honorable Mention Recognition with an 18th place finish. 

Enfield has been on a tear this year for Gustavus, finishing ahead of Division I opponents the last two meets and was just four seconds behind her personal best at the Saint Ben's Autumn Classic, running a 22:46.0 to finish fourth overall. 

Forbord's best 6,000-meter run was also at the Saint Ben's Autumn Classic on the 17th, running a 23:15.8 to finish 12th overall in the meet with runners from the University of Minnesota and ran her personal best, 22:54.1, last year at the North Region Championships. 

The third best time of the year for Gustavus is a 23:18.6 from sophomore Siiri Anderson (Duluth, Minn.), who ran a personal best at the Saint Ben's Autumn Classic as well. Last season, Anderson placed 88th at the MIAC Championships and has since dropped just about two minutes since that appearance. 

Sophomore Anna Gould (Amery, Wis.) and classmate Francesca Geffre (Roseville, Minn.) also ran their season best times at the Saint Ben's Autumn Classic this season, running 23:50.7 and 24:05.9, respectively, to round out this season's top five times.
