UT's Athena Welsh finishes 85th at nationals

MADISON, Wis. — University of Toledo junior Athena Welsh finished in 85th place Saturday at the NCAA Division I cross country national meet at the University of Wisconsin.

On a cold day with a snow-slicked course, Welsh ran a time of 20:59.1, finishing in the upper half of the 372 runners that competed.

“It was a really great experience,” Welsh said. “I had a lot of fun and it was really cool to finally get to a national meet and see what it’s all about and kind of see how I stacked up.”

Coach Linh Nguyen was proud of the way Welsh ran.
