Men Take Second, Women Finish Fifth at AMC Championships

ST. LOUIS, MO. – The Eutectic men's cross country team earned its highest ever finish in history, taking second place at the American Midwest Conference (AMC) Championships on Thursday in Willmore Park. It was the first time since 2020 that the championship meet has been raced in St. Louis and hosted by UHSP. The Eutectic women finished fifth in the meet.

Ellie Creasey and Amari Wiedemeier were named to the AMC Champions of Character team, which honors one athlete per Conference team who best exemplifies the five core values of the NAIA Champions of Character Initiative: Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship, and Servant Leadership.
