Four weeks ago at the 2018 Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational, University of Wisconsin junior Alicia Monson made a statement, winning the individual title while defeating the reigning NCAA cross country champion.
Monson proved her win was no fluke at the Big Ten Cross Country Championships on Sunday in Lincoln, Nebraska, as the Amery native became the first Badgers women’s runner since 2001 to win an individual conference title.
Monson covered the 6K trek at the Mahoney Golf Course in 19 minutes, 49.3 seconds to lead No. 11 UW to a third-place finish with 89 points. The Badgers finished behind No.
