After moving from the unseeded White Race last season to the elite-level Women's Blue Race this year, Eastern Michigan University's women's cross country team proved that it is a force to be reckoned with at the upcoming Mid-American Conference Championships, taking 18th out of 43 teams at the Indiana State Pre-Nationals Invitational, Oct. 18. The Eagles earned 522 points, as the team had the second-highest finish of a school from the Great Lakes Region behind only No. 1 Michigan's third-place turnout.
