TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The University of West Florida women’s cross country team finished 11th out of 18 teams at the Florida State Cross Country Invitational on Friday. The meet was hosted by Florida State University and was held at Apalachee Regional Park.

Junior Renea Porsch finished 47th overall and first for the Argonauts (24:01.40) while senior Karyssa Tourelle-Fallon finished 59th overall (24:24.40).

“We really challenged our team today to come to this meet and run in a very strong field,” head coach John Bergen said. “We ran well against some great competition on a relatively challenging course.”
