Ray Shows Well at NAIA Cross Country Championships

Brenau senior Jasmine Ray showed well at the 2015 NAIA Women's Cross Country Championships in Charlotte, N.C. on Saturday.

Ray, only the third Brenau runner to ever qualify for the national championships, was one of ten runners to qualify from the Southern States Athletic Conference. The Appling, Georgia native finished in a time of 20:56, which placed her 296^th out of 310 runners.

"I'm so proud of Jasmine's performance," said head coach Heather Estetter. "The end of the season helped prepare her mentally for her final trek as a Golden Tiger and she has definitely earned her stripes."

Brenau, who finished fourth at the SSAC Championships, returns seven to the 2016-17 team next year.
