Riggs 14th at Eastbay Nationals

Morgantown's Irene Riggs made the trip to San Diego to compete in the Eastbay National Championships on December 11th with a 17:48.5. She joined a short list of WV Qualifiers for the National Championship, and the 14th place finish is among the best we've had.

There were splits every half mile on the course, and Riggs ranged anywhere from 13th to 16th at those spots. She was the 3rd finisher from the South Region after finishing 8th at the South Regional itself, proving an ability to handle the more difficult San Diego course better than some that beat her in Charlotte.
