Cross Country Turns in Strong Effort at Bradley “Pink” Classic
October 14, 2016 | Cross Country
PEORIA, Ill. - - The fast times continued for the Ball State cross country team Friday, as all eight of the team's runners clocked in with career-best 6K times at the Newman Golf Course in the Women's Red Race of the 2016 Bradley "Pink" Classic.
In her first career 6K event, freshman Emily Tromp (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing) led the Cardinals to the finish line for the third consecutive race and placed 84th among scored runners with a time of 22:22.7. It was the fastest 6K performance for a Ball State runner since the 2012 Great Lakes Regional when then-senior MaryKate Mellen and then-freshman Katelyn DeVries logged times of 22:09 and 22:16, respectively.
Following Tromp to the finish line was redshirt freshman Stephanie McElhaney (Huntington, Ind./Huntington North) who clocked in just five second behind at 22:27.7 for a 93rd-place finish among the race's 208 scored runners.
Rounding out Ball State's five scored runners were senior Ericka Rinehart (Angola, Ind./Angola) in 22:40.3 (114th), redshirt junior Jordan Timmons (Bargersville, Ind./Center Grove) in 22:46.8 (124th) and junior Jessica Bryzek (Brownsburg, Ind./Indiana Academy) in 23:00.4.
As a team, the Cardinals placed 21st among the 31 teams entered in the field of the Women's Red Race.
Next up for the Ball State cross country team is the 2016 Mid-American Conference Championships which will be hosted by Kent State at the Kent State University Golf Club on Oct. 29. The women's 6K race is slated to start at 11 a.m.
