Last Time Out

She also received All-Region honors for her strong performance in the race

Poised And Experienced
 
With her entry in this race, it will mark Goode's third appearance in a NCAA Championship meet. She made the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships last spring, running in the 3k steeple, in addition to running in last year's cross country nationals edition. 

Her Season Recap
 
Goode has ran in four meets so far, and has been the La Salle women's first finisher in each of those meets. She placed third overall in the conference championship race, receiving All-Conference First Team honors for her finish. On Tuesday afternoon, the Atlantic 10 announced that Goode was named to the All-Academic team.

Aiming For All-American
 
In last year's race, Goode placed in the top 100, getting 99th place with a time of 20:31.4 in the 6k race. There were over 250 runners in the field, and Goode was at one point as high up as 55th place. She will aim to place in the top-40, as those runners will receive All-American honors.

Next Up
 
The cross country season concludes with this meet. Goode will shift over to the indoor track season following this race, which will begin in December or early January.
