Wichita State wins fifth straight women's MVC cross country title

By Eagle staff

The Wichita State women won their fifth straight Missouri Valley Conference cross country title on Saturday.

Three Shockers finished in the top six, led by Tonya Nero's third-place finish in the 5-kilometer-meter race in Peoria, Ill.

Nero's time of 18 minutes, 45 seconds was followed by teammate Irene Kosgei (18:54) in fourth. Leah Thompson (18:57) finished sixth.

The WSU men placed seventh, their lowest finish since the 1999 team finished eighth. Marius Sava led the Shockers with a time of 27:37 in the 8-kilometer race.

WSU's streak of five women's championships is the longest in conference history. It brings WSU's total to 10 titles, also tops in the MVC.
