Cross Country participates in Heartland JUCO Relays

MAC CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS OPENED SEASON WELL AT HEARTLAND JUCO RELAYS

The Mineral Area College Cross Country teams got the 2021 season off to a hot, but successful start with competition at the Heartland Juco Relays held at Maxwell Park in Normal, Illinois. The unique race format had 2 person teams run a mile at a time, alternating with each other until each woman had run 3 miles and the men 4 miles each.Times were then combined for the 2 runners to figure places in the race. MAC runners Kyle Vineyard and Jacob Arnold were the overall Men's Division winners, averaging an impressive 5:07 per mile for their combined 8 miles. Other Cardinal runners who won awards by placing in the top 15 were: Devin St.Clair/Grayson Knernschield and Will Jarvis/Jagger Robinson for the men, and Haley Hernandez/Laura Maddox and Kara Hovick/Rachel Wilson for the women. Complete results for the Heartland meet are on the link below.
