COLFAX, Wash. (UNLVrebels.com) – The UNLV women's cross country team continued the postseason with the 2024 NCAA West Regional Championships on Friday, racing at the Colfax Golf Club course. The Rebels took five student-athletes to the meet, consisting of three freshmen, a sophomore and a junior.
Â
Freshman Claire Rands led the charge for the Scarlet & Gray in the race, crossing the finish line first on a 23:18.7 final time. The time marked a postseason best for the Canadian newcomer, topping her time just two weeks ago at the Mountain West Championships by over a minute. Rands' race also came home strong in the final 1k, moving up three places in the stretch.
Â
Her freshman teammate Breanna Blanks would be the next Rebel to finish the course, ending the race on a 23:41.6 final time. Finishing four places behind her at a 23:47.8 time was junior Abigail Danlag, right at her top time this season in the 6k race from the Bronco Invitational.
Â
Alana Sangprasit ended the race with her fastest time in the 6k race during the 2024 season, touching the finish at a 24:16.7 final time. That mark lowered her season time by almost 30 seconds, previously racing a 24:43.4 time at the Bronco Invitational. Sophia Legat rounded out the lineup with a 24:37.2 final time.
Â
The Rebels will look to gear up for the track & field indoor season, the program's first race taking place at the Lumberjack Team Challenge on Friday, January 17. To stay updated on all things UNLV cross country, follow its Twitter / X and Instagram social media accounts.
