Despite missing the qualification for the NCAA Championships, Andrea Shine placed high individually, while three Hawkeye men made changes in Iowa’s record books.

Junior Shine led the women with a 20th-place finish, 70 spots higher than last year’s regional championship. Shine finished the 6,000 with a personal-best time of 20:46.2.

Other notable finishes on the women’s side include senior Madison Waymire at 21:09 (42nd), senior Marta Gonzalez at 21:28 (70th), and junior Lauren Opatrny at 21:44 (97th).

Mylenek’s time of 29:53.2 placed him 32nd, a 52-spot difference from the 2016 regional.
