Ranger runs through wind to close out season in style

ABILENE – Running in its second-straight meet at Abilene Christian, Ranger track again encountered less than ideal running conditions. A day that featured wind advisory warnings had the majority of teams backing out, but not Ranger. The Rangers went out and drastically improved their performances from just a week ago closing out the season in style.

"I am really happy with how well we competed," said Ranger head coach Kathy Graham. "Our two guys in the steeplechase both ran well. It was good to see Gladys back out there running and we showed well in the Men's 5K."

1500 M:

Autumn Freasier, 4^th; 5:29.86

Nydia Castro, 5^th; 5:45.39

5000 M:
