Josh Smith (So., Ashland, Wis.) won the individual title at the St. Cloud State Showdown at Wapicada Golf Course in Sauk Rapids, Minn. last Friday afternoon. Smith set the Wapicada course record in the process with a time of 26:58.1 on the 8k course and improved his previous season-best time by three minutes, 13.9 seconds which he ran at the season-opening event at Concordia-Wisconsin.
He became the first Concordia male to win a cross country race since Jacob Womeldorf won the 2010 Crown College Invite, and Smith ran the fourth-fastest time by a Concordia sophomore in program history.
Smith broke onto the scene last fall as a freshman by earning three Concordia Male Athlete of the Week honors, earning it for the first time as a sophomore while beginning to hit his stride before the NSIC Championship race on October 26 in Sioux Falls, S.D.
