LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Glenville State Cross Country freshman Natalie Barr made Pioneer XC history today!

The Canvas, West Virginia native raced a sterling personal best of 22:03, placing 25^th to earn All-Atlantic Region, navigating Lock Haven's historic West Branch Course in a blistering pace. In fact, she went through the 5K in 18:28, also a personal best. 

In doing so, Barr became the first Glenville State runner to ever make the All-Region team! This is even more remarkable of note, considering the Pioneer program has been racing in the NCAA for a full three decades now. Barr was in 29^th after the first mile of the race and worked her way up to 26^th by the 5K mark. From there, she made a late move down the course's long home stretch to secure the All-Region spot. It was a very fast field in ideal conditions for the 171-runner field. She was the third freshman to cross the line in the race.

Barr's teammates Savannah Cunningham and Samantha Dawson also posted personal 6K bests as well. Cunningham placed 140^th in 24:47, and Dawson 141^st in 24:52. 

In the Men's Race, Pioneer B.J. Utt closed out his GSU cross country career with a 35:48 in the 10K race. Utt placed 129^th in the 157-runner field.
