Cross Country Bears Wrap 2024 Season
November 15, 2024 | Women's Cross Country
PEORIA, Ill. – Missouri State's women's cross country team finished the 2024 season Friday with a 26th place finish at the NCAA Midwest Regional hosted by Bradley.
Â
Mary Margaret Harris was the first Bear across the line once again. The senior finished the race in 111th place out of 231 runners with a time of 21:38.4. Harris made up seven spots in the last kilometer to earn her finish. Tabitha Fox was next in line with a time of 22:09.6 in 138th place.
Â
Emily Nuttall was next with a 143rd place finish and a time of 22:13.4. Lena Singleton and Adrien Martens were the final scorers in 156th place and 161st place with times of 22:23.3 and 22:28.5, respectively.
Â
Grace Spoonhour and Ella Cronhardt were the final runners allotted for the Bears. Spoonhour finished in 181st place with a time of 22:50.4 and Cronhardt in 202nd place with a time of 23:08.2.
Â
"It's not the way we wanted to end the season," head coach Jordan Fife said. "We thought on our best day we were definitely a top-20 team; we've struggled this year getting our top group to run well on the same day. Our lineup has rotated every meet this year and while that shows we have some depth; we just haven't been consistent enough. There are a lot of bright spots from the season that we'll take into next year, including getting several athletes back from injury ready to make an impact."
Â
The Bears wrap the season with two wins early in the season, a seventh-place finish at the MVC meet and two runners landing spots on the all-time top-20 list for the 6k.
