WXC's Herman, Bockrath Earn All-SEC Honors

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Sophomore Tori Herman of University of Kentucky women’s cross country has been named to the All-Southeastern Conference First Team and senior Perri Bockrath to the All-SEC Second Team. 
 

Herman earned this honor through a fifth-place finish and personal best at SEC Championships, running the 6K with a time of 20:13.2. Bockrath finished 13th with a time of 20:42.2, tying her personal best from Notre Dame. 
 

To be selected for the All-SEC First Team, a runner must finish in the top seven, while the second team is selected from the runners who finish from places eight to 14. 
 

Herman and Bockrath led the Kentucky women to a fourth-place finish at 93 points, the best point total at SEC Championships by UKXC in Coach Hakon DeVries nine years coaching the cross country team. 
 

The sophomore from South Carolina has flourished all season, never placing lower than 22nd (20:16.1) place from the FSU Pre-Nationals 6K and including a win at the Commodore Classic. She has run personal best times in each of the last three meets, two 6K and one 5K personal best, and continues to lead the UKXC women. 
 

Bockrath has consistently run second-fastest for Kentucky all season, including a 52nd (17:04.6) place finish at the Joe Piane Invitational 5K and 51st (20:42.2) place finish at FSU Pre-Nationals. 
 

Next up for UKXC is NCAA Southeast Regionals on Friday, November 12 hosted by Kentucky at Tom Sawyer Park in Anchorage, Ky.
