Final Results

"I'm very proud of our effort today in cold and windy conditions," said head coach Jeremy Provence. "The course was more difficult than we expected, but they went out aggressive and gave great effort. The women represented Ozarks well. This provides us with strong momentum going into next season."

 "This was Nena's final race and she set a personal record," said Provence. "I could not have asked for anything more from her. Her leadership will be missed. Caitlyn and Stephanie gained valuable experience that will carry into next year when we travel back to the regional race."
