The men’s cross-country team continued its winning season in Columbus this weekend.

The men’s team beat Missouri by 29 points Saturday.

Sophomore Donny Wasinger finished first for the team and second in the race with a time of 26:05.30.

He was followed by sophomore Zach Zarda, sophomore Austin Bussing and senior Bret Imgrund with times of 26:11.20, 26:17.50 and 26:21.7.

The women’s team came in second — losing by only six points. Lauren Bonds came in first for the team and fourth overall finishing the race in 18:10.8.

She was the leader of a pack of runners who spread out over 40 seconds.

Junior Amanda Miller finished in 18:22, sophomore Kara Windisch finished in 18:37.5 and sophomore Rebeka Stowe finished in 18:50.8.

She said although her team didn’t beat Missouri, she still considered it a successful.

The women’s team has been focusing on trying to run as a pack and getting more runners to finish the race closer to Bonds and they did just that in this race.

The top four finishers crossed the line only 40 seconds after Bond, compared with over a minute last year.

Bonds beat her old time on the course by 49 seconds. Windisch also had a personal record on the 5K.

The team has a three week break to train and continue to improve before their next meet in Oklahoma.
