Wichita State cross country runners finished in the middle of the American Athletic Conference Championship standings, with only senior runner Sarah Bertry ending up in the top-15 individually.
The women’s runners placed sixth out of 13 teams while the men placed fourth out of 12 on Friday afternoon at L.W. Clapp Park.
“I projected us basically right where we finished,” head coach Kirk Hunter said. “I hate being right about that, but this conference is so tough that we could literally go completely the other direction. I mean, the fact that the girls got sixth, they could have been ninth or tenth.
