The men's and women's cross country teams tuned up for next week's regional meet by running to overwhelming victories at the Knox College Prairie Fire Invitational. Running against just Knox and Carl Sandburg, the men swept 8 of the top 10 places for a 15-50 shutout of Knox. Shane Leiby was the individual winner in a time of 27:28. He was followed by Billy Miller in second. Huge PR's were registered by Bobby Deatherage and Nick Reed, with Frederick Kiprono and Adam Howe also recording seasonal bests. Brittany Carius won the women's race in a fine 24:06, with a smiling Bonni Martin running a PR 24:38 in second. Carrie Bunting took the 5th spot and Olivia Coker recorded a personal best 26:10 in 6th. Elizabeth Isbell rounded out the scoring in 11th place. The 25 points recorded by the team easily bested Knox's 41 in second and Sandburg's 59 in third.
Both teams seem primed for a good showing at the Regional Meet, which will take place on Friday in Lincoln.
