No. 14 Rebel Women Dominate at North Alabama Showcase

Rebels Won Team Title by 70 Points
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – No. 14 Ole Miss women's cross country put together a spectacular team performance, dominating the 5K by a wide margin at the North Alabama Showcase early Friday morning.
The Rebel women were nearly perfect, placing all five scorers within the top seven spots for a team score of just 20 points – a big jump over runner-up finisher Lipscomb's 90 and an even wider gulf over No. 7 Alabama's 126.
"Our main goal today was to come out, run hard as a group, and set the tone for this season with our women's team," said Ole Miss associate head coach Ryan Vanhoy. "We've been training really well as a group this fall, so it was nice to put the spikes on today and get to see everyone compete together as an early season checkpoint."
Leading that charge for Ole Miss was Skylar Boogerd, who opened her junior campaign in demonstrative fashion, winning at a massive 41-second 5K best of 16:28.01. Boogerd led a scoring pack of five that each broke 17 minutes within the top seven spots, tallying a final scoring spread of just 31 seconds.
"I was really happy for Skylar today, winning her first collegiate race and running with such great poise," Vanhoy said. "She put in a lot of work this summer to make a jump, so it's great to see that start paying off already."
Indoor All-American Sintayehu Vissa, in just her second cross country race as a Rebel, finished third at a huge PR of 16:36.58 – a full 2:28 over her previous collegiate best run while she was at Division II Saint Leo University. Other Rebel scorers included Ryann Helmers (fourth, 47-second PR 16:37.29), Anna Elkin (fifth, 11-second PR 16:49.68) and Loral Winn (seventh, 41-second PR 16:59.96).
All 10 Rebel runners who had run a collegiate 5K cross country race prior to Friday recorded a new personal best this morning, with the average PR coming in at a whopping 38 seconds on North Alabama's fast course. Other Rebels in action included Cate Tracht (10th, 31-second PR 17:11.23), Kristel van den Berg (12th, 17:13.49), Addy Stevenson (13th, 17:14.20), Hannah Ielfield (19th, 20-second PR 17:33.34), Morgan Claire Rose (26th, 33-second PR 17:43.90), Brooke Gilmore (29th, 1-second PR 17:46.77) and Makayla Fick (44th, 7-second PR 18:13.04).
The Rebel men, meanwhile, notched a solid fourth-place team finish in the 8K race to start the morning. Ole Miss wound up with 122 points, led by Dalton Hengst in 11th overall at 24:41.56. Baylor Franklin wasn't far behind in 14th place at a big PR of 24:54.53, and was joined in the top-25 by Nick Moulai (16th, 24:56.64, PR) and Aiden Britt in his first race as a Rebel (23rd, 25:06.26).
Other Ole Miss men competing included three freshmen in their first collegiate 8K races: Jeriel Algarin-Marquez (66th, 26:01.59), Miles Phillips (67th, 26:02.62) and Chase Rose (104th, 27:14.48).
The Rebel men and women will take next week off to prepare for the high-powered Joe Piane Invitational, hosted at Notre Dame on Friday, October 1.
