The nationally ranked (17th) Dallas Baptist University Lady Patriots Cross Country Team will be competing in the NCAA South Central Regional Championship this Saturday, November 7 in Abilene, Texas, on the campus of Abilene Christian University.  The Lady Patriots are currently ranked third in the South Central Region polls.

Competing for the Lady Patriots will be Seniors Ashley Alford, Lacey Morrison, Laura Mucho, and Hannah Steffan, Juniors Tabbitha Ashford and Rachel Oncken, and Sophomore Linet Kibet.  DBU has won their previous two meets, scoring 18 points at the NCAA Pre-Regional Meet hosted by Abilene Christian on October 10, and scored 21 points at the Heartland Conference Championships on October 24, which was hosted on the campus of DBU.
