Cardinal and Cronin Lead Trojans at NCAA Regionals

WACO, Texas – Spencer Cardinal and Bailey Cronin led Little Rock's Team in Waco Friday morning as the Trojans competed at the NCAA South Central Regional Championships hosted by Baylor.
 
Cardinal paced the Trojan men with a 10K time of 33:46.7 to finish 95^th overall in his first-ever NCAA Regional appearance while Cronin returned to the regional round for the first time since 2018, running 24:03.4 to lead the Trojan women with a 133^rd place finish.
 
Cronin was the only Little Rock runner to enter the race with regional experience, but in a vastly different setting. She competed at the 2018 postseason race at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional while she was a member of Oakland, prior to joining Little Rock's Team.
 
Panagiota Lazarou followed with a time of 24:35.2 to place 147th while Lindsey Hutcheson ran 24:39.0 to finish 150^th. Ariana Garcia posted a time of 24:44.8, finishing two spots behind Hutcheson.
 
On the men's side, Aaron Soltmann posted a time of 33:56.6 to finish 103^rd while Joel Allen placed 127^th with a mark of 34:49.7.
 
Friday's race closes out the cross country season for Little Rock. The Trojans now turn their attention to the upcoming indoor track and field season.
