Midwest Regionals


At the regional meet, all we wanted was to get top 2 and qualify automatically to NCAA’s. This was not a task that we took lightly; including us, we had three top-10 teams in OSU, us, and Tulsa. We all had good races and we all stepped up to tie OSU for the win. This ended up being a lucky break, since Tulsa really rose to the challenge was only two points behind us in third. 
Keeping the pack together
The scores for top 3 were 45-45-47 and it was a real nailbiter when the results were being tallied. Of course, Tulsa ended up going to NCAA’s anyway as an at-large qualifier, but it was great to have the momentum of winning regionals going into the national meet. Our top 6 all scored in the top 20 and this ended up being our most satisfying meet. We executed the race plan perfectly and left knowing that all we had to do at nationals was replicate our tactics and we would run to our potential as a team. 

Happy with the win
