Oct 16, 2015

2015 WXC Loras College Invite Results
DUBUQUE, Iowa - The University of Dubuque Fabiola Ortiz cruised to a first place finish in 22:26 and by over 30 seconds over the nearest competitor at the Loras Invite held at Dubuque Soccer Complex. Ortiz helped the Spartans to a fifth place finish overall out of nine teams with 111 points. 

Central College cruised to the team title with 32 points in a meet that consisted of four Iowa Conference varsity squads preparing for the Iowa Conference Championships on this same course in two weeks.

The junior won her first official cross country race after finishing runner-up to an unattached runner at Wisconsin Lutheran's Warrior Invitational on October 3. This time she nearly broke her school record set earlier this year of 22:25 in a fourth-place showing at Grinnell's Les Duke Invitational.

Backing up Ortiz was junior Kiersten Wenthold (21st, 25:02), freshman Abigail Ray (23rd, 25:10), sophomore Kayla Kinateder (28th, 25:17), and sophomore Kristin Mackenburg (47th, 26:41). Sophomore Katrina Pagel (73rd, 29:29) finished out the six-runner varsity squad.

The Spartans compete in the Iowa Conference Championships at the Dubuque Soccer Complex (hosted by Loras) on Saturday, October 31 at 11:00 a.m.
