Wayne State finished fifth in the GLIAC women’s cross-country championship, with sophomore Ava Peters leading the Warriors in 12th place and earning Second-Team All-GLIAC honors for the second straight season. Coach Grant Lofdahl praised the team’s effort in rainy, muddy conditions and highlighted the freshmen’s contributions, while saying fifth place fell short of the program’s standard.

By the Numbers
  • Wayne State: 5th place, 125 points.
  • Ava Peters: 12th place in 21:50.1.
  • Grand Valley State won with 19 points.
Yes, But

The Warriors competed with limited championship experience and difficult weather, but Lofdahl said the result was still below expectations.

What's Next

Wayne State heads to the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships on Nov. 21 in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Bottom Line

Peters delivered a repeat all-conference performance, and the team will look to turn its fifth-place finish into motivation at regionals.
