Szpott finishes as region runner-up

Garden City, KS-All season long, Sandra Szpott has been the main attraction at Garden City. And the sophomore had no plans of deviating from that script on Monday.

Szpott finished second individually at the 2017 Region VI Cross County meet at Buffalo Dunes Golf Course. Her team finished ninth.

Szpott clocked a time of 18:48.6, just three seconds behind Individual champ Winnie Kibet from Colby. She ran an average 6:02.9 mile.

Other standout performances included Hannah Roemer, who was 40^th with a time of 21:56.

Colby was the region champ followed by Cowley, Allen, Butler and Hutchinson.

Szpott and her teammates will next compete at the NJCAA Championships in Central Iowa on Nov. 11.
