WINONA LAKE – Grace’s cross country teams will send three representatives to the NAIA Cross Country National Championships on Friday.

On the women’s side, Mallory Hiatt and Heather Plastow qualified as individuals. Bryan Hernandez-Rios qualified for the men’s race and will represent the Lancers.

The meet will be held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was originally scheduled for this past fall but moved to the spring because of the COVID pandemic.

The men’s and women’s races have 36 teams competing in each race. Both races will also have over 90 individuals competing.
