Women's Cross Country in NAIA Top 30
The Bearcats women's cross country team finished 27th at the NAIA National Championships this Saturday in Vancouver, WA. This is an improvement from their 31st place finish at the Championships a year ago. It is also the highest finish of any KIAC Conference school since Brescia began their program a mere 5 years ago.
Jasmine Pulliam (Jr.) finished in 139th place with a time of 19:46; the fastest time ever run by a Brescia woman at the National meet. Next for the Bearcats was Olivia Warren (So.) with a time of 20:23, followed by Samantha Walker (So.) and Embra Hawkins (So.). Rounding out the scoring was Cassie King (So.) who, battling injury, finished with a time of 22:26.
The Bearcats finish a great season where they were awarded KIAC Champions, along with many individual awards. Now, with a top-30 team finish at the National Championships, they look to be Nationally ranked and among the best in NAIA for next year.
