Cheresa Bouley named SCSU Athlete to Watch

St. Cloud, Minn. – St. Cloud State Cross Country has been picked for a top-10 finish in the 2022 NSIC Preseason Coaches Poll as announced today by the conference. The Huskies landed No. 10 in the poll, returning a talented roster that earned a top-10 finish at the NSIC Championships last season under the direction of head coach Sam Kettenhofen. Second Team All-NSIC honoree Cheresa Bouley was picked as the Huskies' athlete to watch after placing 16^th at the NSIC Championships and recording a personal-best 21:59.5 time at the NCAA Central Region Championships.

"We are looking forward to beginning practices and competitions this fall," said Kettenhofen, "We have a great group of returners and will add in some talented newcomers to the group. There is a lot of potential and ability that can build on what they accomplished last year as well as the work they put in over the summer."

The Huskies' strong upperclassmen corps of Bouley, Clara Welhouse, Erica Conrad and Marianna Guerra-Reese are supported by a talented underclass as the program looks to build off a top-25 finish at the NCAA Central Region Championships. Allie Butte, Greta Freed, Cambrie Kowal and Lauren Sertich are back for their second campaign in the Red & Black while Iris Guider, Jaileen Medina and Laura Stevensen join the Huskies as freshmen.
