EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The IUPUI women's cross country team wrapped up its 2025 campaign on Friday (Nov. 14) at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional, held at Angel Mounds in Evansville. The Jaguars were led by senior Julie Smith, who crossed the line in 22:10.53 to finish 116th overall.

Smith paced the Jags from the gun and closed out her collegiate cross country career as the team's top finisher for a fifth straight time this season. Behind her, junior Grace Bragg clocked 22:33.59 to finish 141st, followed by Ella Colclesser in 176th with a time of 23:12.64. Junior Wini Barnett turned in another solid showing at 23:29.62 and freshman AnnMarie Gibson made her first appearance among the team's scoring five at 23:41.94. Emily Bruns (23:56.61) and Hannah Robbins (24:05.46) capped the lineup in 24:05.46. 

"It was a rough day overall," head coach Antonio McDaniel said. "I think we just used everything we had at the Horizon League Championships this year. We will have to do a better job of bouncing back the last two weeks of the season. 

"Having said that, I'm very proud of a lot of the growth I've seen from this group and can't wait to see what we can do moving forward."

The Jaguars finished 27th in the team scoring with 783 points. Notre Dame dominated the team scoring with 22 points, followed by Wisconsin (95), Toledo (104) and Michigan State (107). Notre Dame freshman Amaya Aramini won the race in a time of 19:37.97, winning by six seconds over teammate Mary Bonner Dalton.
