The College of DuPage women's cross country team continued its postseason preparations at the Bradley Pink Classic on Oct. 16 at Newman Golf Course, placing 18th among 21 teams while recording five personal-best performances.

The Chaparrals gained another opportunity to test themselves against a competitive field in Peoria, with five runners setting personal records as the team looks to carry its late-season progress into the NJCAA Region 4 Championship.

Daniela Beto Tecaxo led the Chaparrals, finishing 117th overall in 25 minutes, 7 seconds. Fatima Moreno followed in 159th at 26:15.7, while Nicole Jarek placed 174th in 27:09.2.

Shaylee Powell finished 178th in 27:19.4, followed closely by Makena Brown in 180th at 27:25.3. Olivia Jarek rounded out the DuPage lineup, placing 201st in 29:19.9.

With the season approaching its most important stretch, DuPage will have one more major opportunity to compete before turning its attention fully to championship racing.

The Chaparrals will compete at the NJCAA Region 4 Championship on Saturday, Oct. 31, at Plum Grove Reservoir in Palatine. The race is scheduled for noon.
