Last fall, she finished eighth at the Southland Conference Cross Country Championships, earning All-SLC honors and helping the Roadrunners to a third-place team finish. A two-time SLC Athlete of the Week, McDonald was named the 2004 SLC Women’s Cross Country Student-Athlete of the Year.
On the track this spring, she finished eighth in the 10,000 meters at the SLC Outdoor Championships and 10th in the 5,000m at the SLC Indoor.
