QUOTING COACH DAVE RINKER
"The top 3 freshmen ran really well and everyone else raced hard. But sickness and a long season caught up a couple of them. We were 4th which is a big jump from last year, so we are coming along nicely."

UP NEXT
The cross country season is now complete, but the Dukes will get to set to take on the indoor track & field season in 48 days at the Marshall Women's Only Meet on January 11.
