COLUMBIA, Mo. – Fort Hays State’s\u00a0Regan Hodsden<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0won the 2023 MIAA Women’s Cross Country Championship Friday afternoon (Oct. 20), helping the Tigers to a third-place team finish. Two other Tigers joined Hodsden on the All-MIAA podium, with\u00a0Jaycee Vath<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0placing third to pick up first team honors and\u00a0Darian Hudgeons<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0placing 20th to receive honorable mention status for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hodsden is the second Tiger to win an individual conference title, and the first to do so on the women’s team (Cory Keehn, 2012). The Tigers’ third-place finish matches their second-best finish at the MIAA meet since joining the league in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Women's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A native of Mitchell, Neb., Hodsden continued a dominant season, winning her third race in as many tries. The 2022 XC All-American won the six-kilometer race in 21:29.8, finishing seven seconds in front of her nearest competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vath’s third-place finish made Fort Hays State the only school with multiple finishers inside the top five. The Lincoln, Kan. native shaved more than 19 seconds off her personal-best 6K time, completing the race in 21:43.0. Hudgeons grabbed the final all-conference spot with a time of 22:29.6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbye Hudson<\/a><\/dfn> slotted 37th after completing the race in 23:12.7, with Hattie Lukert<\/a><\/dfn> rounding out the Tiger top five in 46th place with a time of 23:45.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pittsburg State captured the team title with 57 team points, placing five runners inside the top 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Hays State will now take two weeks to prepare for the 2023 NCAA Division II Central Region Championships, slated for Saturday, November 4 in Joplin, Mo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
