Clarksville, Ark.-University of the Ozarks freshman runner Ryan Holt won the individual title in the 4.1-mile Arkansas D-III Men's Cross Country Championships Wednesday night in Clarksville.
For the fourth straight race, Holt was the top finisher for Ozarks running a 21:27.90. On the women’s side, Hendrix had the top three finishers, while Ozarks’ Kara Willbanks placed fourth overall in the 5K race running a 21:24.20. The Eagles won the team title. However, Hendrix College took the championship trophy back to Conway for the second straight year after posting a combined men’s and women’s score of 30 points. Ozarks totaled 44 points.
