Alma Struggles To Seventh Place Finish at MIAA Meet

The Alma College women's cross country team finished the first MIAA meet of the season seventh overall. The first MIAA meet counts for one-third of the final MIAA Championship points as the next MIAA meet counts for the final two-thirds.

The Scots were paced by Emily Sias' time of 19:46, good for 17th individually. Rounding out the top seven for the Maroon and Cream, Allison Gibson (20:30), Erin Hemerling (21:19), Kim Sinclair (21:39), Joye Kallgren (23:21) and Emily Whitmer (23:30) helped the Scots.
