No. 3 Razorbacks Bring Home 20th Regional Crown

November 13, 2015

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Fresh off their third-consecutive SEC victory Arkansas women’s cross country team earned the program’s 20th NCAA South Central Regional crown on Friday morning. Redshirt senior Dominique Scott was the top finisher in the 6K race crossing the line in 19:35.30.

Arkansas gained automatic entry into the NCAA Cross Country Championships with their regional win.

Scott became the fourth woman in Arkansas history to claim back-to-back individual regional titles, following in the footsteps of distance phenoms Deena Drossin Kastor, Megan Flowers and Lilli Kleinmann. The two-time cross country All-American has now won 10 individual titles, five coming from championship competitions.

With an entry list that included 135 runners, a swarm of Razorbacks were front and center leading the way from the start. Arkansas’ top six of Scott, Kaitlin Flattmann, Regan Ward, Nikki Hiltz, Kelsey Schrader and Valerie Reina all finished in the top-15 earning All-Region honors. Lone freshman, Rachel Nichwitz put forth a solid effort placing 40th in her first regional championships.

Loaded with a roster of talented runners Arkansas now focuses its attention on next weekend’s national championships in Louisville, Ky. The Razorbacks look to carry their momentum into the national meet and cap the year with a strong performance.
