Kathryn Sullivan

The CSC women’s cross country team took first overall, with a total of 22 points, against the South Dakota Mines and Gillette College at the Chadron State College Invite Saturday. They managed to snag three of the top five spots along the way. Gillette College came second with 36 points, and the South Dakota Mines came third with 71 points.

The Chadron men were second overall, with a total of 44 points, with two of the top six places. Gillette College was first with 32 points, and the South Dakota Mines took third with 48 points.

Head Coach Ryan Baily expressed his thoughts on the teams’ performances.

“We had a really solid pack,” Baily said, “They’ve been practicing very hard and were running tired.”

He joked, “Gillette beat us.”

And he accepted it at that.

Assistant Track and Field Coach, Brian Medigovich said to improve in a larger group, the teams need to get used to having people on all sides of them and start at a faster pace. He also added that the group is solid and the only change he would make would be closing the gap in between the third and fourth woman.

The team’s next meet is 10 a.m. Saturday in Lincoln.
