ROLLA, Mo. –
Drew Harris is looking more and more like an All-American each week as the Northern Kentucky University men's cross country team nears the postseason.
Harris captured first-place honors Saturday at the Great Lakes Valley Conference / Mid-American Intercollegiate Athletics Association Challenge by finishing the eight-kilometer course in 24:17. It allowed Harris to break his own school-record time of 24:34.71 in the eight-kilometer run, a mark the junior established just a week earlier at the Greater Louisville Classic.
Harris, a Campbell County High School graduate, has eclipsed John Lott's one-time NKU record of 24:36 in the eight-kilometer run twice in the past seven days. Lott's record stood for 30 years until Harris beat it last week.
As a team, NKU posted a seventh-place finish with a score of 166.
Eric Dwyer finished 24th with a time of 25:38 for the Norse.
In the women's five-kilometer event, NKU posted a fifth-place finish with a total of 129. Jerrica Maddox led the Norse by finishing 16th with a time of 19:06.
Jenna Siemer completed the run in 19:12, which was good for 21st place. Janice Laker finished 26th with a time of 19:34.
NKU will run at the Wilmington Fall Classic on Friday. The Norse then compete at the GLVC Championships in Louisville, Ky., on Oct. 24.
