TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Toledo freshman Joy Chirchir came in 143rd place at the 2021 NCAA Women's Cross Country Championships at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Fla. on Saturday.
Chirchir crossed the finish line of the 6K race with a time of 20:46.6.
"Joy had a tremendous freshman year and will benefit enormously from this experience," head coach Andrea Grove-McDonough said. "It's a pretty overwhelming race and just to get here and get this experience is a win as far as I'm concerned. Anytime you toe the line at a national championship it's special. No doubt there will be more in her future."
Chirchir, who won the individual MAC Championship title on Oct. 30, qualified for the nationals and earned All-Region honors with a time of 20:22.5 at the Great Lakes Regional in Evansville, Ind. on Nov. 12.
North Carolina State won the race with 84 points, led by sophomore Kelsey Chmiel who finished the race sixth with a time of 19:34.6. Senior Whittni Orton of BYU won the race with a time of 19:25.4.
