This cross-country season, Lauren Wick has been performing exceptionally.  

The cross-country team has had a very successful fall season thus far. One runner, in particular, has been coming out on top and is continuing her success throughout this season.  

Lauren Wick is a physical therapy graduate student and part of the cross-country team. This season, Wick has won many races and has been named MAC runner of the week on multiple occasions. She currently has the fastest 6K time in the NCAA Division III.  

“It’s important to mentally prepare for all types of outcomes and to ultimately be content with however each race goes,” Wick said. “Having incredible teammates and such an encouraging atmosphere definitely helps keep me going every day as well.”  

The cross-country season is almost over, but the team is still practicing hard for the next couple weeks. 

Wick and the rest of the cross-country team are preparing for the MAC championship on Oct. 30.
