THE RUNDOWN  
The DBU Women's Cross Country Team opened the 2025 campaign at the Gerald Richey UTA Invitational, finishing sixth.  Texas A&M Corpus Christi took the individual and team crown with a score of 33, followed by TCU scoring 68 and the University of Texas Arlington compiling 78. 

  

First across the line for the Lady Patriots was junior Courtney Richman, who had a time of 18:46.6 to secure 21st.  Freshman Avery Frank moved up the entire race to be DBU's second runner, placing 31st with a time of 19:01.8.  Right behind in 32nd place was Anastasia Tronicek with a time of 19:03.3.  Also running side by side to round out the DBU scoring were Kylie Himes and KayCee Keller, placing 40th and 41st with times of 19:17.1 and 19:17.9, respectively.  The next four runners for the Lady Patriots were all freshmen, starting with Mae Delrot (19:26.2), Mia Oliver (19:34.7), Kirra Phillips (19:37.2), and Addison Lopez (19:42).   

  

It was a humid morning at the Harold Patterson Sports Complex in Arlington, a classic cross country environment for the beginning of the cross country season.  In a field of mostly Division I programs, the Lady Patriots followed their plan, staying in the assigned groups and holding their paces.  With a long season ahead and multiple races to come, these ladies have the time and determination to develop and improve as they prepare for the conference championships in October. 
 
UP NEXT
