Szpott finishes as national runner up; named NJCAA All-American

Fort Dodge, IA-It has been a splendid sophomore campaign for Sandra Szpott.

Days after signing with Southern Mississippi University, Szpott dazzled again, finishing second at the NJCAA Cross Country National Championships in Fort Dodge, IA. She was also named a first-team, All-American.

Szpott edged Colby's Winnie Kibet, who beat her in the Region Championship last month and fell 19 seconds shy of national-champ Adva Cohen from Iowa Central.

As a team, the Broncbuster women placed 27^th. Iowa Central won team title, and Cowley was the highest finishing Jayhawk school coming in third.
