Robinson, Berg Lead Norse Cross Country Runners
APPLETON, Wis.---The Bay College Norse Cross Country Teams participated in the 8th Annual Gene Davis Invitational hosted by Lawrence University on Saturday. The Norse Women would finish five runners, posting a team score for just the second time this season. Zoie Berg (SO, Gladstone, MI) would finish the 6K course with a time of 25:37. Berg's effort was good enough to put her in 46th place out of 119 runners. Carroll University would have three runners finish in the top ten to win the team competition. Bay would amass 321 points and finish 11th. "The conditions were cool, wet, and muddy because of a lot of recent rain," said Jim Murtha, the coach of the Norse. "Despite over half of the team being sick, we still had six of the nine runners have their personal best time for the year. Everyone gave their all and as a result will only keep improving and look forward to next week's meet in Oshkosh." The Norse will participate in the Pre-National KollegeTown Invite hosted by UW-Oshkosh on Saturday, October 13th. The event will kick off at 1 pm. |
