Freshmen Kalyn Willingham and Emily See run in a pack with sophomore Isabelle Hartnett during Friday’s season-opening cross country meet. WSU head coach Kirk Hunter said he wanted Hartnett, one of the lone experienced Shocker runners in the meet, to pull the younger runners with her to a better finish.
Wichita State cross country head coach Kirk Hunter said his “mind is jumbled” thinking about the upcoming season. With many new runners and returners that could step up, it’s hard to guess who will be the team’s top performers this year.
“When you get in a race … and seeing how they actually shake out, each week, you find out something new,” Hunter said.
