KERRVILLE, Texas – The University of Dallas women's cross country team claimed 3rd place at the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Championship on Saturday. Dallas totaled 106 points to capture a top-3 finish out of seven participating schools.

This was the first 6k for UD this season, as its previous four races were all 5k distances.

Anna Wilgenbusch (St. Paul, Minn.), who was the lone member of the Crusaders to be named an All-Conference winner, ran the fastest time with a 24:13.59 for 12th individually. The freshman leader for Dallas boasted the top-team time for the 5th straight competition. She is the second member of the program to be named all-conference. Clare Myers achieved the feat twice in 2012 and '14.

Emma Kate Callahan (Overland Park, Kan.) notched a personal record (PR) with a 25:33.56 for the second fastest UD time and 19th overall.

Mary Korth (McKinney, Texas ) also garnered a PR with a 27:39.37 for 30th.
