News mentions
The rolling hills and blustery winds did nothing to slow the Bruin's Madison Nelson as she rolled to an NSAA championship victory today at the Platteview Golf Course. She was the first Bruin individual NSAA champion in any distance running event. Bellevue was hosting the meet for the first time and the challenging course enabled Nelson to jump to a lead early and she never looked back, finishing with a convincing 25 second victory margin. Her time of 19:58.4, just seconds from her season-best, was a remarkable time considering the hills and wind.
Three of five Bruin women running Saturday’s Mount Marty Cross Country Invite turned in season-best times while two others were just seconds from their own season records. As a team, the Bruins also posted a season-best team time, averaging 21:05 for the five-kilometer distance.
Individually, Lorelei Hayden continued her comeback from injury running to 53rd place among the 105 finishers. Her time of 21:08.8 was nearly a half-minute faster than last week’s run at Briar Cliff. Sarah Felten was the second runner for the Bruins placing 74th in 22:05.3. Ali Hobbs, also coming back from a lengthy injury period, was able to put together another solid race as she finished 80th in a time of 22:14.1
The Bruins finished eighth of eleven scoring teams with NCAA Division I South Dakota winning easily with a low score of 25.
