Renner and Arnett compete at Nationals
Vancouver, Wash. ---"On the men's side, I would like to see us be in the top 20, we're really going to have to run outstanding to do it, but, that's a goal that I would like us see us achieve." Those were the words of Rio Grande head cross country coach Bob Willey prior to leaving for the NAIA National Meet. The RedStorm fell just short of that goal, although they did run well, finishing 21st (out of 32 teams) at the 53rd NAIA Men's National Cross Country Championships at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site on Saturday.
The Rio Grande women's team had two runners competing in the women's race. Sophomore Kayla Renner (Galloway, OH) was the top RedStorm runner to finish. She was 172nd overall and covered the 3.1-mile course in 20:26. Senior Stacey Arnett (Laurelville, OH) closed out her college career finishing 237th with a time of 20:58.
There were 330 runners in the women's event.
