Phoebe Bates finished off her sophomore season this past weekend in San Diego, CA where she raced with 39 other top girls in the nation. Bates went into the race with very little expectations and said she was there mostly for the experience but still was going to leave it all on the course. Ultimately she came in 26th place in a time of 18:40.7. She's just a sophomore, so she's got two more chances to get back to San Diego and improve on this year's performance.
