#RiseAndDefend🛡️
She placed 9th out 129 runners in the 5K to lead the Highlanders to a 3rd place finish at the Covered Bridge Open 🙌
@RadfordTrackXC's Chloe Wellings is the Women's #BigSouthXC Runner of the Week!
…with just 2 All-Conf performances, this was the epitome of a TEAM PERFORMANCE.
Can we please get @CoachShelli a raise, a medal, or at least a congratulatory high-five ‘cause she has done work here since 2019.
Food for thought.

This weekend, @RadfordTrackXC posted the 3rd highest points total for the program in the last 20 years for an indoor championships.
Only bettered by the 2006 team (81 points) and 2018 team (82 points), way more credit needs to be given to @CoachShelli and the 75.5 points earned
