Alyssa Johnson, a 2006 Jay County High School graduate, led the Taylor women's cross country team and finished third overall. She recorded a new career-best time of 18-minutes, 50 seconds in the 5K race.
Amanda Johnson (JCHS - 2008) placed 17th in the field of 65 runners. She turned in a time of 20 minutes even.
The sisters will meet again Oct. 25 at the NAIA Great Lakes Invitational in Grand Rapids, Mich., and at the Mid-Central Conference Championships Nov. 11 at Spring Arbor University.
