HOUGHTON, N.Y. – Near freezing temperatures and the occasional snow flurry couldn't thwart the spirit of more than 50 teams and 375 competitors taking part in the 2014 National Christian College Athletic Association Division I and II Cross Country National Championships at Houghton College on Saturday.

The day began with Roberts Wesleyan University women's dominating performance over the 5K course to grab the Division I championship with 27 points. Individual winner Rachel Prutsman (17:54.2) just beat out teammate Megan Hulton (17:58.7) for the title to lead a group six Redhawks in the top 11.

The Division II results (race run concurrently with Division I) featured Moody Bible Institute's Katie Morris turning in a championship performance as the top finisher in 18:50.9.

As the men's race began the flurries started to increase, creating a winter wonderland over the 8K course.
