Rio Grande/RSC Sports Information
    OWENSBORO, Ky. - University of Rio Grande senior Lucy Williams earned a spot in the NAIA National Championship as an individual, while helping the RedStorm earn a sixth place finish as a team in Saturday's River States Conference Women's Cross Country Championships at Yellow Creek Park.
    Williams, a native of Albany, Ohio, finished the 5K course in a time of 18:36 and placed fourth overall, earning first team All-RSC honors in the process.
    By virtue of being one of the top six finishers who was not a member of the winning team, Williams also punched her ticket to participate in the NAIA National Championship on Friday, Nov. 16, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
    Rio Grande, which had just three regular competitors for most of the season and was ranked last in the league entering the race, added three more runners to the squad and totaled 160 points for a sixth place showing.
