Kirsten Geary was named to the Mid-South Conference preseason watch list as an athlete expected to have a major impact on her team this year. Geary delivered on the honor at the Indiana Wesleyan Twilight Invite on Friday by running the 6K in the fastest time in program history. As a team, the average time of 24:51, which also smashed the school record previously held by the 2015 team at the Queen City Invite. That group averaged a time of 27:30.
