Women's Cross Country Finishes Fourth at the CMU Drenth Memorial

The Hope College women's and men's cross country teams gained an early look at an important course this season on Friday.

The Flying Dutch and Flying Dutchmen ran to fourth- and fifth-place finishes at Shepherd High School during Central Michigan University's Drenth Memorial. The course will host the MIAA Championships in October.

"Our goals for this meet while previewing the conference meet course were to acclimate the newcomers to college cross country and to finish strong the last half of the race," head coach Mark Northuis said. "We were successful in competitively achieving these goals. Both teams raced in packs and showed good improvements. The future looks very bright for both teams."

The Flying Dutch totaled 104 points in the women's 5K race. Central Michigan (21) took first and finished ahead of Eastern Michigan (43), Michigan State (70), Hope, Alma (166), and Grand Rapids Community College (166).

Senior Ana Tucker (Midland, Michigan / H.H. Dow HS) clocked a sixth-place, 5K run of 18:33.1 in the field of 79.

Six more Hope runners finished in the top 40:

29. 19:50.3, freshman Madison Stern (Saline, Michigan / Saline);
31. 20:01.7, sophomore Kennedy Kuhlman (Grand Blanc, Michigan / Grand Blanc); 
34. 20:17.4, freshman Alyson Kelly (Gaines, Michigan / Linden);
35. 20:18.8, freshman Leanne Krombeen (Grandville, Michigan / Calvin Christian);
38. 20:32.3, freshman Brooke Myers (Grand Rapids, Michigan / Forest Hills Northern);
40. 20:37.6, freshman Ellie Coderre (Naperville, Illinois / North).

Hope's next race is Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Wheaton College (Ill.) Dodds Invitational.
