Yazmine Wright, was a showstopper in the JK Gold Classic. The Gold Classic is Wichita State’s Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Team annual home meet. Wright won first place in the women’s 5k finishing with a time of 17:34.10. Her time was also 39 seconds ahead of the second place finisher.
As a fifth year member in the program, she has taken on more of a leadership role than in the past. With this season’s team having fewer members than in past seasons, Wright hopes to help each member as much as she can.
“I feel a lot older than everyone but being a fifth year is also nice because now I feel more capable of helping others,” Wright said.
