After a weekend off we hit the road to compete in our final regular season meet at the University of Arkansas. The Chile Pepper Invitational featured 35 teams from all over the country. We were able to take 7th which was a solid performance. Amanda finished 4th again in a new PR of 20:19 for 6K. Alyssa ran 20:59 for 17th. Rebekah (21:48) and Susannah (22:06) were 47th and 63rd. Nikki Rietz rounded out our top five in 105th (22:41). There were 296 runners in the field so our top five being in the first third was good. We still have some work to get done before we compete in the first ever Pac-12 championship meet. Six of the 12 teams are currently ranked in the top 20 in the country. So we have a big task ahead of us, but our group is confident that they will race and compete well in the best conference in the country. We know that this meet will help us prepare for the NCAA Regional meet two weeks later. Championship time is here. It's time to sharpen up and race at our highest level of the year over the next five weeks!
