A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about a remarkable student-athlete from Grace College in Winona Lake, IN named Marijean Wegert. Wegert if a Junior on the Grace College Women's Cross Country Team. What makes this young lady a really tough competitor is that she runs in a way very few runners do: barefooted.
Wegert finished 13th overall in the NAIA National Meet last November. This year, she's gotten off to a good start by finishing 18th at the IPFW Invitational this past Saturday. As a team, the Lady Lancers finished in 4th place out of 5 teams. We here at College Sports will continue to follow the career of "Shoeless Marijean" as she and the rest of the Lady Lancers from Grace College try to win an NAIA National Championship.
