Anderson Secures Seventh in Hanover College Invitational

The Anderson University women's track and field team secured seventh place in the Hanover College Invitational on Saturday in Hanover.

"Early outdoor season in the Midwest means the weather has unfavorable conditions to compete well," Coach Nic Huffman said. "I'm really proud of how we executed what we've been working on in practice. The high winds made it tough for us to have great times on the track, but a lot of runners were at or better than they've ever run. It's a young team, so we will only keep getting better. I can't wait to see how we progress."

Noelle Loller claimed first place in the 10K with a time of 39 minutes, 34.07 seconds. The senior from Lapel currently ranks 18th on the NCAA D-III leaderboard for the 10K.
