Senior cross country standout Clare Fischer competed in the NCAA Championship meet held in Terre Haute, Ind. on Nov. 23.

Fischer finished 203rd overall with a time of 22:06.3 against a group of the nation’s top runners.

The four-year Xavier star recently recorded her personal best time of 20:47 at the Great Lakes Regional.

In the last cross country meet of her career, Fischer represented her university as the first Xavier runner to compete in the NCAA Championship meet.

Fischer, her twin Abby and the rest of the XU track team will now prepare for the indoor track season after a successful year in cross country.
