The Wichita State Cross Country program returned to action on Saturday, with its annual home meet, the JK Gold Classic. Both the men’s and women’s programs earned second place finishes in the meet.
In the women’s 5K race, the Shockers had four different athletes finish in the top-10– Yazmine Wright, Danielle Rinn, Lubna Suied, and Abeda Sullivan. Wright recorded her first ever Cross Country victory, finishing with a time of 17:34.10. Wright’s time was 39 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher in the race.
“It’s my first ever cross country win in college so that’s exciting,” Wright said.
