Griffins Finish Season at NCAA Midwest Regionals

The Fontbonne cross country team finished out the season on Saturday at the NCAA DIII Midwest Regional Championship hosted by Augustana College. 

Senior Alyssa Tonner capped off a great season with a 54th place finish, bettering her 119th place finish at the meet last year.  Completing the 6K in a time 23:13, her performance is the best Regional Championship finish in school history.  Teammate Olivia Beggs, who has steadily improved all season, ran a great race to place 143rd in a time of 24:37. 

On the men's side, freshman Chris Brown ran 29:22, a solid personal performance on a windy day.  Captain Justin Horneker struggled with Achilles pain throughout the race and finished in 27:39.
