Cross Country: Anna Rudd Making An Early Impact For Ferris, Earns GLIAC Honor

BIG RAPIDS - Well, it didn't take Ferris State University freshman Anna Rudd all that long to begin to make quite a name for herself doing this running thing. Rudd, a native of Leslie who has turned a lot of heads already, was named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's cross country "Runner of the Week" for her efforts.

Rudd finished finished sixth (23:01.52) at the Division II Pre-National Invitational and, as a result of her strong finish, lifted the Bulldogs to a third-place showing last Saturday in Evansville, Ind. Overall, Rudd was FSU's second-highest finisher in a race comprised of nine teams and 75 runners.

Through her first weeks as a college runner, Rudd has posted three-straight top-15 finishes for the nationally-ranked Bulldogs.
