HANSEN CLOCKS NEW PR AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

STILLWATER, Okla,— Leah Hansen turned in a career-best 21:40.6 6K time over the rolling hills of the Oklahoma State Cross Country Course at Monday's 2020 NCAA Cross Country Championships.

Results from the meet can be found here.

Hansen's mark comes as a five second improvement from her winning time of 21:45.6 from the Summit League Cross Country Championships on March 5 where she punched her ticket to Stillwater and lead the Jacks to their first conference title since 2008.

The sophomore and Willmar, Minn. native took second in the 3K (9:34.53) and 5K (16:32.35) at Summit League Indoor Track and Field Championships on Feb. 27 and 28, then followed with a PR in the 6K a week later— only to slash that time by five seconds on the national stage Monday.

Hansen finished 120th in the field of 256, and her finish stands as the seventh-best by any Summit League athlete in NCAA Cross Country Championships history.
