COLLEGE STATION, Tex. - For the first time since 2008, the Henderson State Cross Country team competed in a 6,000-meter race, the Arturo Barrios Invitational hosted by Texas A&M This morning. In a tough field of many Division One programs, the seven participating Reddies set a new standard for a 6000-meter race, with six of the runners breaking the previous school record from 2008, 26:02.0 set by Savannah Meeks.

Ali Montgomery led the Reddies, finishing with a new school-record time of 22:28.8. Montgomery was followed by Azul Garcia (23:19.6), Jaydin Zuniga (24:30.9), Lauren Pardo (24:44.6), Jaide Tatum (25:21.0), Angela Dorado Marin (25:36.7) and Kayla Jackson (26:25.6), who all now sit in the top 10 all-time for Henderson State.
