The young Carleton College women’s cross country team seems to be hitting its stride as a trio of Knights earned All-Region distinction at the NCAA Central Region Championships. First-years Ruth Steinke, Shira Kaufman, and Sally Donovan placed 12th, 17th, and 22nd respectively as Carleton finished in a fourth-place tie with Gustavus Adolphus College keeping the No. 29 Knights in contention for an at-large bid to next week’s NCAA Championships.
