The Loyola Marymount University Lions men's and women's cross country teams headed north for a return trip to Colfax, Washington for the NCAA West Regional Championships last Friday, November 15th. The Championships were hosted by Washington State University at Colfax Golf Club.   
 
Redshirt sophomore Dani Rowlinson and redshirt senior Roc Johnson rose to the occasion by setting new personal records at Regionals.
 
"Dani and Roc both saved their best performances for the last meet of the season, setting significant personal bests in less than ideal conditions," said head coach Scott Guerrero. "While we did not have our best day as a team, our young squad walked away with valuable lessons that will make them hungry for next year." 
 
In the last cross country race in an LMU jersey, Kyla Danforth was the first Lion to cross the finish line on the women's side with a time of 21:23.9. Rowlinson was not far behind, posting a new personal best time of 21:45.2, which takes 16 seconds off her previous PB.
