Fassbender is on his way to set a new record at UW-Whitewater in the men\u2019s 8k course. The rest of the men\u2019s team members hope to follow close behind. \u201cI think the meet was a good step in the right direction to our top potential, and that\u2019s to make Nationals,\u201d said Neuroth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jessie Braun finished first for UW-Whitewater scoring 65 points with a time of 23:56.4 in the women\u2019s 6k course. The Colfax Golf Course was comprised of an uneven terrain with many hills, but overall both teams seemed to really enjoy the course. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOverall I think that the meet went very well,\u201d said Braun, \u201cThere was a very competitive field of runners and lot of conference schools competing in preparation for the conference meet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The men\u2019s and women\u2019s cross-country coaching staff<\/a> includes head coach Jeff Miller and two assistant coaches, RJ Soderman and Amanda Brom. This fall season is Brom\u2019s first year as an assistant coach. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great day for a meet, the weather was awesome and we had some great competition,\u201d said Brom. Brom wants the team to focus on conference competition and pushing other teammates. Brom\u2019s biggest focus this season to get her athletes healthy. <\/span><\/p>\n

The men\u2019s and women\u2019s cross-country teams will compete at the Kollege Town Sports Invitational. The invitational will be hosted by UW-Oshkosh on October 10, 2018 in Winneconne, Wisconsin. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
