PEORIA, Ill. - Missouri State cross country finished sixth in the 25-team Red Race at the Bradley Pink Classic Friday while recording three performances among the top 15 on the program's all-time 6K list.

The Bears totaled 233 points, finishing ahead of St. Thomas, Iowa, Cincinnati, Drake and Northern Iowa. Bradley won the team title with 49 points, followed by Grand Valley State with 63 and South Dakota with 71.

"I thought it was a really solid day overall for us. We're still a step or two away from where we need to be in two weeks at the conference championship, but we believe our best race is still in front of us," said head coach Jordan Fife.

Riley Bryan led Missouri State across the line, finishing 28th overall in 20:57.3. Her career-best time ranks sixth on Missouri State's all-time 6K list.

Ella Cronhardt followed just two places behind Bryan, finishing 30th in 20:59.0. Her time ranks seventh in program history.

Elsa Henry was the third Bear across the line, finishing 58th in 21:25.0. Amy Gotfredson followed in 64th with a time of 21:28.1, which ranks 15th on Missouri State's all-time 6K list.
Makenna Madetzke completed the Bears' scoring five in 67th with a time of 21:30.5. Missouri State's five scorers crossed within 33.2 seconds of one another.

Tabitha Fox finished 88th in 21:44.3, followed by Ella Rew in 113th at 22:05.2 and Britta Foust in 117th at 22:07.4. Kaitlyn Hatley crossed in 123rd with a time of 22:14.4, while Lena Singleton finished 134th in 22:32.6.
