MOUNT VERNON, Ga. - The Brewton-Parker College Women's Cross Country team started their season today at the Stan Sims Opener at Kennesaw State University. The Barons had some new faces today and saw all the participants set Personal Record bests today at the event. The women competed in a five-kilometer run today. The meet saw the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State, and Emory University, along with other schools that sent runners, but more was needed for an entire team to qualify. 

Catching up with Coach James Frank, he shared his thoughts on today's outcome: "We are happy with our runners each setting PRs today, especially considering that the only returner we have for the women's team this year is Jaleah; everyone else was running their first cross country race ever. We were particularly impressed with Danielle and Amaree and how well they performed today.." 

RaaShonda Khalil led the Barons today with a time of 28:08.95 and was just in front of Danielle Solis, who finished just five seconds behind with a 28:13.49. Amaree Harmon came third for the Barons with a time of 28:20.83. Jaleah Rhett came fourth with a 29:03.99. Aaliyah Allen was the fifth runner for the Barons with a 31:23.78, and Mylan Tanner finished with a 33:34.46. The Lady Baron's finished with an average time of 29:02.21. We can not wait to see how they build off this start and where it takes them. 

The Baron's next race opportunity is September 21 at the Julius Johnson Invitational in Macon, Georgia.
