Huntsville, AL – The Austin Peay State University women’s cross country team finished 14th in its first ASUN Conference Women’s Cross Country Championship, Saturday, at John Hunt Park. The Governors totaled 392 points.
“I was pleased with our efforts today from the entire team,” Austin Peay State University head coach Valerie Brown said. “I can’t say enough about how this season has gone in the right direction.”
“The highlight of this season has to be the leadership and the fearless competitive spirit of Mikaela,” Brown commented. “There’s no better way to end your last season than the way she has done. When you can get over half of your team to have personal bests at the championship meet, that stamps for a good day.”
