Freshman Ryan VanFossen and Sophomore Raven Pettry led the way for the ICC Cross Country teams at the Illinois Intercollegiate championship race in Normal yesterday. The men finished 13th of 27 non-university teams (2nd Junior College) while the women finished 10th of 25 non-university teams (1st Junior College.) Ryan's time of 27:06 in 104th place overall moved him into the 7th runner position all-time on the ICC list. Raven improved her best from last year with a 19:56, which was good enough for 90th place in the field of 330 (38th non-university runner.) Raven was followed on the women's team by Michelle Carter, who ran 20:37, Kayla Christ (20:41), Jordyn Hull (21:26), Deidra Klaus (21:47), Danie Fisher (21:58), and Olivia Renken (23:57.) Following Ryan with a huge improvement in just his second race was freshman Brett Curry. His time of 27:34 now ranks him as the 16th Cougar runner all-time. Nick Leiby ran a solid 28:06, followed by David Lawson (28:25), Trenton Hopper (29:16), Caleb Ulrich (30:36), and Justin Torres (34:07.) The only men's junior college team to beat the Cougars was Danville, who will be the host of our regional on October 29th.
Next up for the teams is the Augustana Brissman-Lundeen Invitational on Friday, September 24 in Rock Island, IL.
Please note that the meet will be held at Saukie Golf Course in Rock Island, not Credit Island.
