JOPLIN, MISSOURI – It's been a year to remember for St. Cloud State University cross country runner Chrissy Lofgren (Stewartville, Minn. / Stewartville). Two weeks ago, she became the first Husky in five years to earn First Team All-Conference honors at the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Cross Country Championships. On Saturday, Lofgren was even better, as she placed in the top-20 at the NCAA Regional Cross Country Champiosnhips, pacing St. Cloud State to a 14th place finish as a team.
Lofgren was the lone Husky to finish in the top-20, as a career best time propelled her to a 16th place finish. The senior ran the course in 21:49.25, shaving nearly a minute off her previous season best time, to finish in 16th place as an individual.
Cheresa Bouley (Zimmerman, Minn. / Zimmerman), Autum Shurbert-Hetzel (Stevens Point, Wis. / Stevens Point Area) and Kassye Todd (Elmwood, Wis. / Elmwood-Plum City) all recorded top-100 finishes at the NCAA Regional race Saturday morning. Bouley was the individual to cross the finish line for the Huskies, finishing in 78th place with a time of 23:12.8. Shurbert-Hetzel closed her cross country career by finishing 90th at the Regional with a time of 23:32.9, while Todd finished her season not far behind in 96th thanks to a time of 23:41.5.
Sophomore Annika Juenemann (Eyota, Minn. / Dover-Eyota) rounded out St. Cloud State's top-5, crossing the finish line in 25:10.6 to finish in 167th. Not far behind was fellow sophomore Clara Welhouse (Green Bay, Wis. / Southwest), who finished in 25:11.7.
Jamie Herridge (Medota, Minn. / Little Falls) was the final Husky to compete Saturday morning as St. Cloud State's seventh runner, crossing the finish line in 25:25.4
After combining the scores of the top-5 runner, the Huskies finished in 14th as a team with 436 team points. Lofgren will wait to see if her time qualifies for the NCAA Cross Country Championships, which will take place November 23 in Sacramento, California.
