Wednesday, September 14 2016 - Country Financial ISU Invite
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Junior Maria Baldwin finished fourth in a strong field last Friday evening at the Illinois State Country Financial Invite. This week she was named the Ohio Valley Conference co-Female Runner of the Week, winning the award for the second straight week.
Baldwin covered the 5K course in a time of 17:56.79 as she was just one of four runners that posted a sub-18 minute time on the Weibring Golf Course site. Baldwin helped the team finish fourth behind Northern Illinois and Big Ten members Iowa and Illinois.
In the opening week of the season Baldwin won the OVC award after winning her second straight EIU Walt Crawford Open title. In that meet Baldwin set the EIU school record for the Tom Woodall Panther Trail.
EIU returns to action on Friday, Sept. 30 at the Notre Dame Invitational.
