Syracuse Orange sophomore Savannah Roark must love running at Oklahoma State. After finishing in the top 10 at the Cowboy Jamboree in September, Roark finished 23rd at the NCAA Championships on Saturday helping the Orange to a 23rd place team finish.
Roark’s time of 20:02 for the 6k course was 35 seconds faster than her time from September. The race featured 19 athletes under the existing course record, led by NC State’s Katelyn Tuohy, and Roark’s time was only a second off the mark. This is the 2nd highest NCAA finish for a Syracuse woman in program history and caps a tremendous season for Roark with All-American honors.
