PORTLAND, Ore. - Despite a pair of Top-5 finishes, the College of Idaho could not keep their Cascade Conference title steak alive, as the Lady Yotes placed fourth at tje CCC Championships, presented by U.S. Bank, at Fernhill Park.
Complete ResultsNorthwest Christian cruised to the team title to earn the CCC's automatic bid to the NAIA Championships, while Southern Oregon (74), Oregon Tech (80), and the Lady Yotes (90) finished in a tight bunch - all having their National Meet hopes hinging on the final Top-25 poll.
For the second-straight season, Lila Klopfenstein recorded a podium and All-CCC finish, placing second overall on the fast course, recording a time of 17:55, 11-seconds behind individual champion, Alyssa Harmon of NCU. Â Teammate Amy Pfaff earned All-League honors by placing fourth (18:03). Â However, a 73-gap between C of I's No. 2 and No. 3 runner was enough to drop the Yotes in the final standings.
C of I will have to wait until tomorrow's national poll is released to see if they will travel to Lawrence, Kan., for the NAIA Championships. Â If the Yotes do not earn a bid, both Klopfenstein and Pfaff are guaranteed a spot in the meet based on their finish today.
