CEDAR RAPIDS — Sophomore Kalli McCann of Osceola placed third individually in a stacked field of four-year college runners to lead Southwestern at the Lamb KoHawk Invitational last weekend.

On a cold, windy morning the Spartan women ran an extra 1,000 meters from the usual distance and McCann covered the 6K distance in 23:54.7 for a 6:25 per-mile pace. She broke up a string of Cornell College runners, taking six of the top seven spots in dominating the team race with 18 points.

“Kalli is running well,” SWCC coach Bill Huntington said. “We are excited about that race. Cornell, Simpson and Coe have some great programs now. For Kalli to be up there with those runners is great. As a team we were able to finish ahead of DMACC.”
