Junior Audra Herndon led the the Murray State women's cross country team to a win over Tennessee Tech today at the MSU Invitational in Murray, Ky.
The Racers earned 19 points, compared to the Golden Eagles' 37 points, due in large part to MSU sweeping the top three individual spots.
Herndon, a native of Boring, Ore., covered the 5-kilometer course in 19 minutes, 24 seconds to win the individual title. MSU sophomore Lauren Wilson (Louisville, Ky.) was second with a time of 19:30, followed by fellow sophomore Heather Vincent (Hawesville, Ky.) in third with a time of 20:16.
Sophomore Megan Rainville (Greenville, Ind.) was fifth with a time of 20:51, while freshman Amber Bivens (Hawesville, Ky.) was eighth with a time of 21:09.
Other runners for MSU were sophomore Brittany Renfro (Louisville, Ky.) in 10th with a 21:33; freshman Betsy Hall (Charleston, Ill.) in 13th with a 22:32; and sophomore Trista Curtis (Louisville, Ky.) in 14th with a 22:46.
Up next, Murray State will host the MSU Ohio Valley Conference Preview on Saturday, Oct. 11 at the Futures Golf Club in Puryear, Tenn.
