No. 20 Iowa State Captures Midwest Regional Title
11.10.2017 | Cross Country
AMES, Iowa – The No. 20 Iowa State cross country team is headed back to the NCAA Championships for the ninth-straight year. The Cyclones won the Midwest Regional, capturing their sixth regional title since 2010 and first since 2014.
After unofficially trailing by a point through the one mile mark to Minnesota, the Cyclones quickly jumped out to a lead that they wouldn't relinquish, cruising to victory.
The Cardinal and Gold tallied a team score of 90, edging second-place finishers Oklahoma State (103) by 13 points. Head coach Andrea Grove-McDonough received All-Region performances from freshmen Cailie Logue (3rd) and Amanda Vestri (11th), as well as junior Anne Frisbie (9th).
Today was also the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series showdown with Iowa, as the Cyclone men and women both claimed the points over Iowa. After five events, Iowa State leads this season's competition 6-5.
Logue and Vestri continued their outstanding freshmen campaigns. Logue secured All-Region honors with a 6k time of 20:14. Vestri finished shortly behind Logue in a time of 20:30.
For the second straight season, Frisbie secured a spot on the Midwest All-Region team. She finished in a time of 20:28. Freshman Karly Ackley and junior Kelly Naumann were the other two Cyclone scoring runners. Ackley finished in 20:50 for 26th place, while Naumann finished 41st in a time of 21:09.
Junior Evelyne Guay and sophomore Megan Schott also ran well for the Cyclones in sub-freezing temperatures. Guay took 49th individually in 21:14, and Schott crossed the finish line in 21:18, good for 54th.
The women will be joined by the men, who also won the Midwest Region, at the NCAA Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. The championships are set for next Saturday, Nov. 18th at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park.
