Sophomore Madden Hundley finished 32nd in the 5K with a time of 18:30.1 at the NAIA National Championships in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and became Westmont’s first NAIA All-American in women’s cross country since 2014.
“Madden was a completely different runner today than she was a year ago from start to finish,” said coach Lindsey Connolly. “Her reinvigorated excitement and competitive edge helped her improve significantly from last year.”
Hundley’s time was a career-best as a Warrior, as she becomes only the 10th All-American in program history.
Also in the women’s race was freshman Anneline Breytenbach who finished with a mark of 19:51.17.
Westmont’s lone runner for the men’s race was freshman Mitch Groff who finished the 10K with a time of 26:33.96.
“These three athletes represented Westmont well,” said Connolly.” They have made me proud to be associated with them through this trip. The difference between the ones who just finish and the ones who finish well is the choice to push and keep moving forward. All three of these athletes made the choice to push.”
