LINCOLN, Neb. – Northern Colorado women's cross country delivered a statement performance Saturday at the Woody Greeno/Dirksen Invitational, placing sixth as a team in a field of more than 30 programs at Mahoney Park Golf Course. Senior Regina Mpigachai led the charge, dominating the women's 5K to claim the individual title in 17:08.94.
Freshman Sabina Stroia finished 22nd in 18:27.89, while junior Brooke Elfert followed in 35th at 18:49.52. Senior Ania Magdesian (57th, 19:18.76) and sophomore Jessica Wilson (59th, 19:23.20) rounded out UNC's scoring five. With Mpigachai's victory and strong depth through the pack, the Bears finished ahead of Nebraska and Omaha to secure a top-six team result.
On the men's side, junior Noah Osmond paced Northern Colorado in the 8K, clocking 26:09.52. Senior Hunter Kenney (27:07.35), freshman Max Kedrowski (27:17.07), sophomore Noah Mayoral De Anza (27:19.52), and freshman Tad Rabenhorst (28:25.66) completed the scoring group. The Bears finished 18th overall with 511 points.
"The men were solid and ran well as a group. There are some things we need to work on but I'm confident that we will improve and be ready when it counts," said Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Wayne Angel. "The women were outstanding today. Regina defended her title and the women had a great showing taking down Nebraska. Overall I'm pleased and feel that we are moving in the right direction."
