The Murray State Cross Country competed Saturday at Tom Sawyer Park
The Murray State Women's Cross Country team competed in the 24th annual Live in Louisville Cross Country Classic on Saturday.
In the 5K distance Saturday afternoon at E.P. Tom "Sawyer" Park, the Racers were part of one of the most-attended cross country meet in the USA.
Inside a month from the Missouri Valley Conference Championship, the Racers had five of eight runners record career PR's with Ruth Kimutai and Molly Robertson moving into fourth and seventh place on the MSU all-time 5K list.
The Racers placed 10th in the field of 15 teams.
"Ruth really showed out today and it's impressive the way she is juggling our training program with her final semester of nursing clinicals," said MSU Coach Jordan Johnston. "She has been a rock star with her time management. Ruth and Molly worked well together throughout the course and though the first mile, there were blazing fast and held on and I couldn't be happier with their performances."
On the horizon for the Racer runners are two trips to Angel Mounds State Park in Evansville, Ind. The first visit (Oct. 17) is the Angel Mounds Invitational and the second is the MVC finale (Oct. 31).
