Women's XC Ends Season at Northeast Regionals

November 10, 2017 | Women's Cross Country

BUFFALO, N.Y. – In the last meet of their season, the Army West Point women's cross country team placed 19th out of 37 competing schools at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships Friday morning.

Coach's Quotes:
"We were a little too tentative early in the race and we were unable to pick up the places that we needed to in order to move up in the standings," said head coach Mike Smith. "That was partly our mistake. We needed to be more aggressive early, and we weren't, and we paid for that. We are young and all of these women will return next year and I think that we can compete much better than we did and I'm hopeful that's what happens going forward."

"I think our team's performance wasn't as good as we hoped, but we have done really well this season," said sophomore Bethany Nunnery. "I think we are definitely moving up to where we could be in future years. During the race, I was just thinking about trying to pass as many people as I could, in order to help my team."

ARMY HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES

The Black Knights were led by Nunnery who placed 90th, clocking a time of 23:21.9.
She was followed by sophomore Ramsey Wagner who ran a time of 23:31.3 which was good for 106th, one spot ahead of sophomore Kate Sanborn (23:31.4).
Freshman Mika Andrews (23:32.8) and junior Abby Halbrook (23:34.9) closed out the scoring squad.
The team had an accomplished season, placing second at the Patriot League Championships, as well as earning a victory over service-academy rival Navy in the annual Star Meet.
