Winny Koskei is still running near the front of races, and now Rebekah Topham, back from a redshirt season, has joined her to form a one-two punch for the Wichita State women’s cross country team.
The result has been a resurgence for the women’s team, evident by a second-place finish — only behind No. 9 Arkansas — in a field of more than 50 teams at the Chile Pepper Invitational in Arkansas last weekend.
Koskei finished third overall in 16 minutes, 36 seconds, just 12 seconds off the school-record time in the 5-kilometer, while Topham followed in fifth place in 17:00.
