The 黑料福利社 (NPC) Nighthawks men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 cross country teams competed
in the Steve Guymon Invitational at Harding University on Friday, with the Nighthawk
women finishing in fourth place overall and the Nighthawk men placing third.
In women鈥檚 action, sophomore Brooke Wyatt (Hot Springs) led the Nighthawks in the
5K with a time of 23:28.2 for a 32nd-place individual finish.
鈥淥ur women ran well, including several setting personal records,鈥� NPC Interim Cross
Country Head Coach Jason Armitage said. 鈥淏rooke Wyatt showed her experience at that
distance. I was very impressed with how the team ran with heart and determination.鈥�
Freshman Miguel Mendez (Benton) led the Nighthawks in the men鈥檚 4-mile run with a
time of 25:04.4 for a 19th-place individual finish.
鈥淭he women set the tone and the men鈥檚 team responded,鈥� Armitage said. 鈥淢iguel Mendez
continued his great season scoring a
team-low eight points. Cross Country measures each individual鈥檚 time in the event,
but this group knows that we win as a team. I couldn鈥檛 ask for a better effort from
our runners.鈥�
NPC men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 cross country competes in the Van Davis Memorial 5K at National
Park College on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 8 a.m.
