CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) cross country championships took center stage at Seminole Valley Park where the University of Dubuque women's cross country team finished seventh with 196 team points. 

Dede Davis had a massive personal best tonight in route to her first all-conference honor, finishing 10th in a time of 22:51.8. The next Spartan crossed the line at 24:51.0 as Ellec Armstead finished 52nd. Kiana Vogel finished 65th in a time of 25:18.1, while Alli Gonnella and Mackenzie Rader were neck and neck to finish 79th and 81st.
