Grinnell, IA -- The Indian Hills women's cross country team saw a big improvement in times over the previous meet as the Warriors took part in the Les Duke Invitational, hosted by Grinnell College, on Saturday.
All three of the IHCC runners posted faster times from the Dutch Invitational the previous week.
Leading the way was Sarah Keith (Ottumwa), who finished in 36th place in 27:16 over the 6K course at Oakland Acres. That was Keith's best time, by 1:23, of the fall.
Addison Kepner (Centerville) improved her time by 1:18, running 27:53. And Sage Richmond (Fairfield) made the biggest improvement for IHCC, lowering her time from the previous week by 2:10 and finishing three seconds behind Kepner in 27:56.
IHCC coach Jim Streeby pointed out that the womens' previous best team average was 29:19 and they lowered that to 27:42 for this meet.
"It was great weather, a good field of teams and an IHCC team eager to run a strong race," Streeby said. "Everyone on the women's team set a season personal best, an impressive performance by them."
The Warriors' next meet will be the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational in Rock Island, Ill. and Streeby said they need to go back to work and get stronger and faster.
