Harrison and Lindner represent UVA at nationals

TERRE HAUTE, IN -- Virginia cross country athletes Emily Harrison and Soeren Lindner both competed at the NCAA Cross Country Championships today in rain-soaked Terre Haute, Indiana. The trip to the collegiate national championships was the first for both harriers. The Wabash Family Sports Center had been drenched with a couple days of rain, making for a sloppy, slow course. Harrison, running in her first year, took 109th in a time of 22:02 over the 6K, while Lindner, a second-year, ran 33:45 over 10K and finished 201st. Harrison qualified after a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Southeast Regional meet, while Lindner took ninth in the same meet.
