LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Michaela and Alexandria Hackett finished their redshirt senior cross country season at the 2017 NCAA National Championships Saturday at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer Park.
Michaela Hackett finished the 6K course in 20:38.4 less than one-second behind Vilanova's Nicole Hutchinson (20:37.8) to finish in 91st. Twin sister Allie Hackett finished 107th, clocking a time of 20:45.9 that was a half second behind Penn State's Kathryn Munks (20:45.4).
"Allie and Michaela had solid races today and gave it everything they had," said distance coach Jarvis Jelen. "They also learned a lot from their first National Championship race. I'm confident that they will take what they've learned and continue to improve during the upcoming track season. We are all very proud of Allie and Michaela for how they competed during this race, this season, and during their careers up to this point at ACU. I have been extremely blessed to coach them for the last couple of years. They have made a long-lasting positive impact on our program and will continue to do so in the remainder of their senior season."
New Mexico's Ednah Kurgat paced through the course in 19:19.5 to grab the top spot on the podium. Washington's Amy-Eloise and San Francisco's Charlotte Taylor took second and third, respectively, with times of 19:27.0 and 19:28.6.
New Mexico grabbed the team title for the second time in three years with 90 team points and University of San Francisco earned runner-up honors with 105 points. A trio of Pac-12 schools rounded out the top-five: Colorado (139) placed third while Stanford (165) and Oregon (203) were fourth and fifth, respectively.
The Northern Arizona men paced to a first-place team finish with 74 points followed by Portland (127). BYU (165), Stanford (221) and South Central Region foe Arkansas (259).
