BOSSIER CITY, La. – With nine runners earning all-conference honors, including SCAC Women's Runner of the Year honors for senior Sydney Rankin, the Colorado College women won their fourth-straight and fifth SCAC women’s cross-country title in the last six years Saturday morning at South Bossier Park in Bossier City, Louisiana. Complete Results | Official Website | Photo Album | Interview with Colorado College Head Coach Alex Nichols | Interview with SCAC Runner of the Year Sydney Rankin
Colorado College runners finished first through sixth as the Tigers posted just the fourth perfect score and the second-largest margin of victory in SCAC women's cross country championship meet history as they finished 48 points clear of second-place Trinity, 15-63. This year's title marks the eighth in CC’s program history, which is second on the league’s all-time list and just one behind the all-time SCAC record of the nine won by DePauw University fron 1998 to 2009.
Rankin, who finished the 6k course on a muggy humid day in a time of 22:11.89, is now a three-time All-SCAC performer having earned seventh in 2022 and 12th in 2021. The senior from Portland, Ore., finished three seconds ahead of runner-up and fellow senior teammate Isabel Olson, who covered the course in 22:14.53.
Junior Alison Mueller-Hickler finished third for the second consecutive year in 22:22.95 and senior Britt Helgaas was fourth (22:24.58). Sophomore Charlie Flint placed fifth in 22:25.14 to close out the scoring for the Tigers.
Two-time SCAC champion Elliot Singer (sixth; 22:26.03), junior Brooktie Frogge (eighth; 22:41.68), junior Abby Goodfried (10th; 22:56.76) and junior Liz White (13th; 23:23.45) also earned all-SCAC honors.
Trinity had three runners earn all-SCAC honors, led by junior Gianna Keena, who finished ninth in a time of 22:51.05. Teammates first-year Charlotte Martin (23:15.76) and sophomore Cali Good (23:29.36) finished 12th and 14th, respectively. As the highest finishing first-year runner, Martin was named the league's Newcomer of the Year.
SCAC newcomer McMurry University finished in third place as the War Hawks used 15th and 16th place finishes from juniors Chloe McLellan (23:33.03) and Savanna Danner (23:41.35) to garner 102 points. Southwestern University came in fourth with 136 points, the program's best finish since 2020-21, and was paced by the all-SCAC performance of junior Breanna Steele, who finished seventh in a time of 22:32.99. Led by senior Samantha Hernandez who placed 27th in the 88 runner field (24:20.18), University of St. Thomas finished in fifth, just one point behind in fifth at 137. Texas Lutheran University finished sixth with 178 points with first-year Audrey Malbrough (40th; 25:16.56) crossing first for the Bulldogs. Rounding out the all-conference team, junior Chloe Weathers became the first all-SCAC runner in University of Ozarks history with her 11th place finish in 23:05.65 as the Eagles finished seventh in its SCAC championship meet debut with 191 points.
Rounding out the team standings, Schreiner University was eighth with 196 points, University of Dallas was ninth with 246 points and Concordia University (Texas) placed 10th in its inaugural SCAC meet with 252 points.
