Where the good news shines
Colorado School of Mines made history Saturday.
The Orediggers women’s cross country team won its first Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championship, and Grace Strongman won individual gold in record-setting fashion for Mines.
The women’s team showed eight all-conference finishes. Strongman, Emily LaMena, Margaux Basart, Callen Nash, Sierra Wall and Gabi Boeckman were All-RMAC first team. Katie Price and Lexi Herr were second-team.
Basart was also named the RMAC Summit Award for the highest cumulative grade-point average (GPA, undergraduate only) at the championships.
The Oredigger women dominated the elite field at Monument Valley Park North, totaling 28 points thanks to all five scorers finishing in the top-10.
The Orediggers’ Paul Knight also took home the men’s individual title.
