She completed the race in 2:08.47, good enough for 12th overall. She also ran the anchor leg in SFU’s winning distance medley relay race.

A week ago, Townsend put up the third-best time among Div. 2 runners at the University of Washington Indoor Preview, placing eighth in the one-mile race at 4:49.03, while recording a provisional NCAA standard time.
