The St. Catherine University track and field team had a weekend full of personal-best and top-10 performances at the Bethel University Invitational, Saturday in Arden Hills, Minn. Among the most notable was junior Kristina Poss (Shoreview, Minn.) in the 3000 meter run. For her performance, she has been named the Wildcat Athlete of the Week.
In just the team's second indoor meet of the 2013 season, Poss set a personal-best time in the 3000 and entered top-10 all-time performances at St. Kate's. She turned in a a time of 11:08.82 – which was over three seconds faster than her previous best a year ago at the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Championships – to finish sixth in the event. Her time is now No. 6 for the 3000 meter run in St. Kate's indoor track history.
Poss and the Wildcats will return to action this Saturday at the Colelge of Saint Benedict beginning at 12 p.m., in St. Joseph, Minn.
