TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Catholic senior Kate Inglis finished the 2024 cross country season with a 93rd-place finish at the NCAA Division III Championships at LaVern Gibson Cross Country Course this afternoon. 

Competing at her second NCAA Championship, Inglis crossed the finish line in 22:17.9 to place 93rd, 138 spots higher than last year 231st place finish. Inglis' time is the fastest 6K time by a Catholic woman at the NCAA Championships, besting Paige Wilderotter's mark of 23:12.7 set in 2021. Inglis ran a time of 23:21.1 at last year's event. 

Inglis becomes the first Catholic woman to place in the top 100 of the championship since Anne Michaels finished 84th in 1991 when the championship race was still a 5K run. 

The New Jersey native pushed the pace right out of the gates, sitting in 62nd after the first 1K. At the halfway point, Inglis sat in 75th place, reaching the 3K mark in 10:30.4. She hit the 5K mark in 18:23.1 and sat in 83rd before clocking the final 1K in 3:54.8 to finish in 93rd. 

The Landmark Conference Champion finished second out of the three Landmark athletes in the event with Moravian's Tara Smurla placing 29th and Elizabethtown's Kelty Oaster finishing 109th.
