Bronson and Lawson Sparkle in Final Meet for IHCC

OTTUMWA --- Some career-best times highlighted the Indian Hills cross country team’s performance at their season-ending meet last Saturday. The Warriors men’s and women’s squads ended the fall campaign at the NJCAA Division I Cross Country Championships in Peoria, Illinois.
Indian Hills sophomores Rachel Bronson and Brittany Lawson both had their best-ever times in closing out their IHCC careers.
Bronson’s time for the women’s 5K race was 23:09, almost two-and-a-half minutes faster than her previous best time this year and four minutes better than her time at the national championship last year.
Lawson ran 23:41 which was 1:27 better than her fastest time this year and over two minutes better than her time when she started her career.
IHCC coach Jim Streeby said, “These two sophomores are what Indian Hills is all about – small town Iowa girls, working hard to survive academically and financially while trying to become better runners. They are first-class ladies and lots of fun to have around. It has been my pleasure to get to know them and I will miss them a lot.”
The other IHCC women’s runner to take part in the meet was freshman Sarah Lindemulder who just missed her best time of the year. Lindemulder’s time was 22:20.
