LITTLE ROCK – After a stellar freshman cross country campaign where she won the Sun Belt Conference championship, Noora Wallenius will be taking on bigger challenges this weekend in a continent-wide race.
Wallenius will be competing for her native Finland at the 2015 European Cross Country Championship in Hyères, France, on Sunday morning, running against the best under-20 competition Europe has to offer.
One of just two Finnish participants in the Under-20 female race, Wallenius will be racing against opponents from 26 other countries. A total of 85 people are scheduled to run in her race.
