PERFORMER OF THE WEEK |
Scots sweep weekly cross country awards
Oct. 6, 2009
Leading from start-to-finish at last weekend’s Olde English Classic
Invitational in Beloit, Wis., resulted in Monmouth College’s Mary Kate Beyer (East Peoria, Ill./East Peoria) and
Geoff Bird (Kenilworth, Ill.) earning this week’s Midwest Conference
Performer of the Week honor in women’s and men’s cross country,
respectively.
The Olde English course layout included jumps over straw bales and three
creek jumps, making for a slower course than the teams were accustomed
to. That didn’t seem to hurt Beyer or Bird who both finished just ahead
of a teammate.
Beyer clocked a 5,000-meter time of 19:43.8, setting a Monmouth record
for the course. Even with the slower course layout, Beyer’s time is the
seventh-fastest in the Midwest Conference for the 5K distance. She
finished nearly 30 seconds ahead of teammate Katie Staab in second
place, as the Fighting Scots took the women’s team title.
