Asbury's Falkenberg runs to RSC Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week
FLORENCE, Ky. -- Asbury (Ky.) University senior Katy Falkenberg ran to River States Conference Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week with her debut performance of the season Oct. 1.
A native of North Canton, Ohio, Falkenberg competed for the first time in 2016 at the Greater Louisville Classic after coming back from an injury. She raced to a time of 18 minutes, 50 seconds to place 19th out of 367 runners and lead all RSC participants at the meet.
In the process, she broke her own school record in the 5K that she set last year. Falkenberg is a past champion of the conference cross country meet. The Eagles have their next meet Oct. 14 at the Jenna Strong Classic in Wilmington, Ohio.
