First-year Rebecca Katz ran the fastest 6K time in school history at the NCAA Division III Midwest Regional hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh on November 18. 

Katz led Knox at the regional with her time of 23:57, topping the previous 6K record of 24:05 set by junior teammate Elizabeth Reyes at the 2012 Midwest Conference championships.  Katz and Reyes were the top two finishers for the Prairie Fire at this year’s regional.
