/><br />The Rhodes women's cross country team turned in a strong team performance, placing 4th overall with 100 points in a competitive 6K field at the Rowan Interregional Border Battle in Glassboro, NJ. Elena Gentry paced the Lynx with a standout 3rd-place finish (21:21.4), giving Rhodes an early presence at the front of the race. Anna Cantrell backed her up with a top-10 result in 10th (21:50.3), and the squad's mid-pack depth held steady with Caroline Wilder (80th, 23:24.1), Vivian Kalb (91st, 23:36.4), and Emmaline Ritter (97th, 23:41.3) all contributing important displacement. The second half of the lineup — Riley Imbornone (117th, 24:09.4), Ellie Spears (121st, 24:12.8), Abigail MacLean (135th, 24:26.1), Claire Bramlett (148th, 24:34.1), and Kate Hinson-Hume (156th, 24:39.0) — provided valuable depth to close out the roster. With a top-3 individual, a runner in the top 10, and solid contributions throughout the pack, Rhodes showed both front-end firepower and the team depth that will serve them well late in the season.]]></description><media:thumbnail url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_system&amp;image_path=/images/2025/10/20/IMG_9908.JPG" /><media:content url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/10/20/IMG_9908.JPG"><media:title>gentry</media:title></media:content><enclosure url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/10/20/IMG_9908.JPG" length="1" type="image/jpg" /><pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2025 09:23:00 CST</pubDate><s:sport_id>6</s:sport_id><s:story_id>11865</s:story_id></item><item><title>Women's Cross Country Compete in the Louisville Classic</title><link>https://rhodeslynx.com/news/2025/10/14/womens-cross-country-compete-in-the-louisville-classic.aspx</link><guid>https://rhodeslynx.com/news/2025/10/14/womens-cross-country-compete-in-the-louisville-classic.aspx</guid><category>Women's Cross Country</category><description><![CDATA[<img alt="wxc" src="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&image_path=/images/2025/10/14/IMG_9548.JPG" /><br /><br />]]></description><media:thumbnail url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_system&amp;image_path=/images/2025/10/14/IMG_9548.JPG" /><media:content url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/10/14/IMG_9548.JPG"><media:title>wxc</media:title></media:content><enclosure url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/10/14/IMG_9548.JPG" length="1" type="image/jpg" /><pubDate>Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:11:00 CST</pubDate><s:sport_id>6</s:sport_id><s:story_id>11863</s:story_id></item><item><title>Women's Cross Country Finishes Second at Rhodes Invitational</title><link>https://rhodeslynx.com/news/2025/9/29/womens-cross-country-finishes-second-at-rhodes-invitational.aspx</link><guid>https://rhodeslynx.com/news/2025/9/29/womens-cross-country-finishes-second-at-rhodes-invitational.aspx</guid><category>Women's Cross Country</category><description><![CDATA[<img alt="gentry" src="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&image_path=/images/2025/9/29/140A9300.JPG" /><br /><br />At the Rhodes Invitational, the women's cross country team turned in a strong performance, finishing second overall with 74 points, trailing only Arkansas State (40) and edging out Mississippi College (80) and Memphis (86) in a competitive field of 13 teams.]]></description><media:thumbnail url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_system&amp;image_path=/images/2025/9/29/140A9300.JPG" /><media:content url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/9/29/140A9300.JPG"><media:title>gentry</media:title></media:content><enclosure url="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&amp;image_path=/images/2025/9/29/140A9300.JPG" length="1" type="image/jpg" /><pubDate>Mon, 29 Sep 2025 10:30:00 CST</pubDate><s:sport_id>6</s:sport_id><s:story_id>11840</s:story_id></item><item><title>Anna Cantrell Wins SAA Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week</title><link>https://rhodeslynx.com/news/2025/9/23/anna-cantrell-wins-saa-womens-cross-country-athlete-of-the-week.aspx</link><guid>https://rhodeslynx.com/news/2025/9/23/anna-cantrell-wins-saa-womens-cross-country-athlete-of-the-week.aspx</guid><category>Women's Cross Country</category><description><![CDATA[<img alt="cantrell" src="https://rhodeslynx.com/common/controls/image_handler.aspx?thumb_prefix=rp_primary&image_path=/images/2025/9/23/Screen_Shot_2025-09-23_at_1.53.36_PM.png" /><br /><br />Junior Anna Cantrell has been named the SAA Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week.
