PORTLAND, Ore. – Cross Country finished an impressive showing at the NCAA Division III West Regionals with the women finishing ninth out of 25 teams and the men placing 16^th. Two women finished in the top 50.
 
Jenna LeNay shattered her previous PR set at the Cougar Challenge in 2023 by 11 seconds. Her new PR of 21:34.1 was good enough for 12^th in the field of 175 runners. LeNay's time on Saturday would have put her in second place at the 2023 West Regionals.
 
Finishing in 12^th puts LeNay in a prime spot to return to the NCAA Championships for the second-straight season. She'll need to fall into the top seven of individual runners not attached to a qualifying team. She will find out her fate at the selection show on Sunday, November 17 at 12 p.m. PST.
 
Megan Cover also posted a PR, finishing in 47^th place. She completed the course with a time of 22:52.1.
