RedTail Women Sprint Their Way to Second Place
The RedTail Women's Cross Country team finished second at the Fighting Bee Invite hosted by St. Ambrose University, September 12. Even though the conditions were very wet and soggy, the RedTails had a great performance!
The Redtails were led by freshman runner Ryann Portch who held on for a third-place finish in 19:44.6. The next RedTail to cross the finish line was Mindi Sande finishing seventh with a time of 21:00.7. The next five finishers were Kylee Leicht finishing eighth (21:05.1), Hannah Payne finishing 12th (21:23.4), Rachel Wardell finishing 15th (22:12.4), Elizabeth Barfells finishing 25th (22:48.1), and Emma Drake finishing 30th (23:29.0).
Tyler Mulder, the head coach said: "This meet was a fun meet for the girls, their performances just show how gritty and tough this crew really is! They all went out there and enjoyed the moment!"
The RedTails will be in action on October 9th, at the NIACC Trent Smith in Mason City, IA. The time is still to be determined.
