The Lady Panthers were led by transfer, Brianna Alexander (SO/Houston, TX). Alexander ran a time of 24:45.6 cutting three minutes off her time from week one. Zora Talbert (JR/Marion, AR) also made improvement from week one to week two.
Coach Chris McConnell stated, "I am very proud of how the team is progressing. Each week is preparation for the next week." McConnell went on to say, "Saturday will be our Men's team's first real test because we haven't run an 8K this season. I am excited about the Women's progress. Both teams are really going to compete at conference."
