ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Three runners recorded personal-best times as the Augsburg College women's cross country team recorded an 11th-place finish at the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships on Saturday afternoon at the Como Park Golf Course.

Haley Diem (JR, Stillwater, Minn.) and Hannah Ehling (FY, Montevideo, Minn.) led the Auggies, as the duo each finished the 6,000-meter race with a time of 24:47. The race marks the second time this season that Diem has broken the 25-minute mark, while Ehling's time is the fastest she has recorded this season.

Jennifer Pulscher (SR, Colorado Springs, Colo./Liberty HS) finished third for Augsburg, recording a career-best time of 25:58, while Kacie Bahr (SR, Brainerd, Minn.) recorded a time of 26:27 to finish fourth for Augsburg.

Anika Clark (SO, Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville North HS) and Shayla Fulford (SO, Perham, Minn.) finished fifth and sixth for Augsburg, as the duo recorded times of 26:49 and 26:50, respectively. Fulford's time marks the fastest time she has recorded during the 2011 season.

Carissa Miller (JR, Woodbury, Minn.) rounded out the Augsburg finishers at the meet, as she recorded a personal-best time of 28:29. MIller's time marks an improvement of more than one minute from her performance at last year's MIAC Championship.

A total of 273 runners and 12 teams competed in the 6,000-meter race, which was won by Carleton's Simone Childs-Walker.

The Auggies will move on to compete at the NCAA Division III Central Regional at Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, on Nov. 12.
