The Drury University women's cross country squad will feature two new student athletes next season. Joining the Panthers as freshmen in the fall will be Tia Young from Harrison(AR) High School and Sooner Davenport from Yukon(OK) High School.
Young was the 2006 Arkansas class 5A high school state cross country champion and later finished seventh in the 2006 OK/AR All-Star cross country meet. She finished second in the class 5A 1600m race this past spring at the Arkansas high school state track and field meet.
Davenport has been an Oklahoma class 5A high school state cross country qualifier for Yukon High School the past two fall seasons and also finished second at the Riverside cross country meet in 2006.
“We just graduated several strong female runners and have a few gaps in our roster so I appreciate having these two solid students and fast girls to add to our group. I believe we will have a competitive women's cross country team this fall with a roster consisting primarily of freshmen and sophomores,” stated coach Jon Van Arkel.
