Hillsboro, Kan. - The Tabor College Women's Cross Country Team finished 6^th out of 10 teams this past weekend at the Tabor College Invitational, held at Cottonwood Point at the Marion Reservoir.

"The meet went pretty well," said Head Coach Dan Swaney. "The ground overall was probably a little softer do to the rain and therefore slower than usual, but it was in good shape.

"Despite the slower surface, there were still some fast times recorded. We had what I believe was the second largest field ever, behind last years, with a few new schools. Several coaches told me their athletes liked the course and they were glad they had come."

The Lady Jays were led by senior Christina Addison (Valley Center, Kan.) who finished in 24^th place at 20:12, while fellow senior Jera Teselle (Downs, Kan.) finished in 37^th place at 20:56.

"Everyone ran faster today than they did at the Friends Invite," added Swaney "Christina improved by 47 seconds even though her back tightened up significantly, and was only 3 seconds off what she ran here last year. Jera returned to form, improving by 2 minutes, while freshman Erin Flaming (Denver, Colo.) destroyed her personal record at Friends by taking off another 57 seconds.

"We have continued to have quality workouts lately and I think that showed in the times today. We still have six weeks to the conference meet and I'm excited to see what everyone can do as they continue to get stronger and healthier."

The Lady Jays will travel to Emporia, Kan. Friday Oct. 2 to compete in the Jock Nitch Invitational at Emporia State University at 5:00 p.m.
