The Central Washington University cross country teams closed out the regular season today, competing at the NCAA Division II Pre-Nationals at Chambers Creek Regional Park. The men's team finished in 21st place, the women placed 24th.  

"Team-wise we were a spot or two short of what we were shooting for, especially compared to some of the other GNAC teams," said head coach Kevin Adkisson. "Definitely mixed results, I think we had some people who had a tough day."
   
Shawn Clough led the men's team finishing the 8k with a time of 25:54:90, placing him 108th. Jack Pratapas and Ty Savely finished 2nd and 3rd for the team, respectively. Pratapas got a PR on the day with a time of 26:14:50.

Zoie Mastin led the 'Cats women's team in the 6k, recording a time of 24:06:20 and placing 143rd. Alexa Neff had the highest finishing place of the day for the Wildcats, finishing 49th in the 6k open race.

"In general, it was good to see everybody and get a good preview for what's coming up in two weeks," added Adkisson. "We had an opportunity to compete against a super deep field with some high-ranked national teams."

The teams will race next Saturday, November 5th, at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships at Ash Creek Preserve in Monmouth, Oregon.
