Cross Country

On a foggy Saturday morning at Jefferson Park Golf Course, the Seattle U Women’s cross country team lined up at the start of the WAC championships. The starter pistol fired and the runners took off. The Redhawk runners were fairly close to one another in a pack for most of the race; the six runners finished within 14 places of each other. The fastest finish of the bunch was by sophomore Megan Delorey, with a time of 22:19.20.

“We could have gone out a little harder, but it was a solid race as a pack,” Delorey said. “People do not get to see how hard we work and all the time, because it is kind of behind the scenes, but I think that our team is really good and well put together; we all care so much for our sport so it is great when we can perform well.”

Head Coach Kelly Sullivan says that he wanted more for the team, but that he is still proud of the team’s hard work and results.

“They are working hard, and the women’s conference is really tough,” Sullivan said. “They all ran right at their PRs, which is really good.”

The Redhawks finished in seventh overall. On Nov. 9, the team will run in NCAA West Regionals in Sacramento, CA.
