On Saturday November 12th, two runners from DCC will be toeing the starting line at the NJCAA DII National Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee, FL.
Emberlyn Hoffman-Gaschk will be racing on the women's side following up a 7th place All-American finish from last year's National Meet.
"She set her goals at the beginning of the season and we are excited to see all her hard work come together on race day! The hope is to return home as an All-American again! She is more than capable of finishing in the Top 10, now it just comes down to racing and how race day comes together to see where she places." said Coach Alex Chase Wolff.
Connor Chase will be racing in the men's race following the women's competition. Last year he traveled with his team to the National Meet, but this year he will be on the line by himself with some goals of time in mind.
Coach Chase Wolff said, "Connor has crushed his workouts all season and is a 27 minute guy, but we just need to get him to push through into the 27 minute range. We finally blew past the 28:30s with a 28:16 at one of the final races of the regular season. Now it's time to let things fall together and push through on race day."
The women's race begins at 6:30am MST and the men's race begins at 8:00am MST. You can follow along with Emberlyn and Connor's races and see live results here: https://live.pttiming.com/XC-PTT.html?mid=5225
