Runners set personal best times at MSSU Stampede

The Red Raven cross country team competed at the Missouri Southern Stampede in Joplin, Missouri on September 15.  The Ravens were one of only three junior colleges to compete in this 8k event.  Most teams competing were NCAA Division I and II schools.

"We had our best race of the season," said head coach Craig Perry.  "Nearly every runner finished with a personal best time." 

Pacing the Raven contingent was Seth Freeman, a freshman from Paragould, Arkansas.  Freeman completed the course in 28:11.  Freshman Robert Gault was next for the Ravens with a time of 28:28 and Kenyan freshman Johana Korir finished the race in 28:40.

"I am really proud of the way these guys went out and competed," said Perry.  "I look forward to getting even better as the season goes on."
