 SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Oregon State cross country closed its season at the NCAA West Regional, finishing in eighth place.
Sage Brooks led the way in 23rd place, earning All-West Region honors from the USTFCCCA. Ainsley Herron joined Brooks in the top-50, placing 40th in 20:28.3. The Beavers finished just 11 points out of sixth place, but likely needed to get to fifth or fourth to have a chance at securing an at-large spot in the NCAA Championships.
Â
"I'm really happy for Sage, that's quite the run in the west region to get all-region. We were just a mere 11 points from 6th which would have been one of the best region performances of all time - we raced hard, with heart and were courageous. This is just a tough tough region," head coach Louie Quintana said.
Â
The Beavers were in fourth at the 1.5 mile mark, led by Brooks, Herron and Lundgren in places 25-27. The field caught up to OSU by the 2.5 mile marker, dropping the team down to seventh as only Brooks was able to maintain a spot in the top 30.
Â
Oregon State finished with a 1:01 difference between their first and last scoring runners as Maya Baechler, Noemi Lundgren and Cadence Kasprick rounded out the scorers. OSU knocked off several former Pac-12 foes including Arizona, UCLA and California.
