KUTZTOWN - Senior Kim Wernerspach was second in the women's race, one week after winning the individual title at Fordham, to lead East Stroudsburg University's cross country team at the Kutztown Division II Challenge on Saturday morning.

Wernerspach dropped 1:26 from last year's time on the same course to finish in 22:32.7, trailing only Vicki Davis of Bloomsburg (21:50.3), a multiple-time national qualifier for the Huskies.
