Female Athlete of the Week-Jules Breakenridge

RedTail cross country runner Jules Breakenridge has been named Scheels Female Athlete of the Week for her performance at the Region XI Championships in Fort Dodge on October 30.

Jules joined up with the cross country team two weeks ago to get her feet wet and came back this week and led the RedTails to a third-place regional finish. She finished first for the team, 10th overall with a time of 22:18 which she was awarded 2nd team All-Conference.

"Jules had a great championship weekend," said coach Hunter Lavallee. "She ran a new season-best time of 22:18. She was also named 2nd team All-Conference. Jules is one of the many middle-distance runners that stepped up to compete as a team in the regional championship. Her drive for constant improvement and dedication to her team has dramatically improved the team dynamic. Jules will be dangerous in the coming weeks and as we head into the indoor season. We as a program are lucky to have her in our ranks!"

Breakenridge is originally from Buckingham, IA.
