GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Make it three in a row for the Golden Eagle women on Friday afternoon as they cruised to the WHAC Championship behind a personal best and course record 21:39 from veteran Haley Nieuwkoop. Cornerstone women scored a total of 42 points with all five scorers finishing in the top 17. The men took second overall, earning 60 points as Jamin Thompson led the way with a third-place individual finish of 25:29. The women have now guaranteed a spot in the NAIA National Championships in Washington, while the men await their fate that will be announced next week.
