MADISON, Wisc. – Clemson University cross country standout Logan Morris closed out her sophomore campaign at the 2018 NCAA Cross Country Championships, which were held at the University of Wisconsin’s Zimmer Cross Country Course in frigid conditions Saturday morning. The sophomore completed the 6K championship course in 22:09.75 to place 222nd overall among 255 competitors.

I want to give her a ton of credit for making it to the national meet because that is a very difficult thing to accomplish,” said Clemson head coach Mark Elliott. “I’m not sure she got the start that she wanted to. Obviously, the elements are the same for everyone, but I think they did affect her a little bit. But again, I just have to give her credit because she had an outstanding season and I’m really proud of her.

Morris, who became the 22nd All-Region recipient in Clemson history, crossed the 2K split in 7:06.0. From there, the Inman, South Carolina native moved up 14 spots before crossing the finish line.
