A pair of outstanding performances by the Monmouth College cross country
team has led to Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honors for the
Scots’ Mary Kate Beyer (East Peoria, Ill./East Peoria) and Scott Sheller
(Morton, Ill./Morton).
Beyer continued her torrid running, finishing sixth in the field of
315 runners at the 27-team Brissman-Lundeen Invitational which included
Division II and other scholarship schools last Saturday. Running on an
unfamiliar course at Saukie Golf Course in Rock Island, Ill., the
sophomore’s 6K time of 22:40.4 ranks her tops in the MWC this season and
was just 21 seconds off her personal best.
