SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Oregon State redshirt sophomore Kaylee Mitchell punched her ticket to the NCAA Cross Country Championships after finishing 12th at the NCAA West Regional, hosted by Scaramento State in Sacramento, Calif., on Friday. Mitchell and fellow redshirt sophomore Grace Fetherstonhaugh led the Beavers, placing 12th and 14th, respectively, to earn All-Region recognition. The Oregon State women's cross country team finished seventh in the team standings with 206 points.
"I thought we were really, really good. We were only a handful of points from the top five. We had two All-Region runners for the first time ever and Kaylee is getting through to nationals, so that's great as a team," said head coach Louie Quintana.
