It was a beautiful brisk morning this past Saturday at the Bethel College Cross Country Invitational in Newton, Kans. After two hard weeks of practice, sophomore Noah Camp (Winfield, Kans.) and junior Katy Vanderploeg (Haviland, Kans.) were ready to attack the course, and that they did.<\/p>\n
Incredibly, both runners bested their goals for the day by half a minute. Vanderploeg\u00a0gained a new personal best with a 29:27 in the women\u2019s 5k. Her 8th place finish, out of 20 runners\u00a0earned a\u00a0t-shirt for being\u00a0in the\u00a0top 10. Camp, on the other hand,\u00a0continues to close in\u00a0on his own personal record. He has\u00a0improved his time by over 40 seconds since\u00a0the first meet of the season. He finished 9th place out of 25 runners with a 29:30 in the 8k.<\/p>\n
Head coach Whitney Kregar and assistant coach Katelyn Ogle continue to rave about Camp and Vanderploeg’s effort this season and credit their hard work for the many successes they are experiencing in competition.<\/p>\n
One final regular season meet stands between the team and nationals. They will head to Southwestern College (Winfield, Kans.) on Saturday, October 22nd for their final tune up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
