BILLINGS -- The No. 17-ranked Montana Tech women's cross country team ran to a runner-up finish at the Frontier Conference championship meet Friday morning at Billings' Amend Park. 

Led by a pair of all-conference finishers in seniors Alyssa Jany and Kamryn Comba, the Orediggers totaled 65 points in the 6-kilometer race and had the best team average time in the field at 23:10.6, but it wasn't quite enough to overtake Carroll College in the scoring. 

Jany led the way for Montana Tech, finishing fifth in 22:39.7 to garner all-conference honors. Comba finished a spot behind in sixth (22:54.7), also earning an all-conference spot. 

Freshman Amy Broek took 14th in 23:14.8, followed by fellow freshman Mya Green in 17th (23:25.2). Sophomore Bella Bermingham was the fifth scorer for the Orediggers, clocking in at 23:38.4 for 25th. 

Freshmen Kendra Jensen (30th, 23:48.6), Janica Clark (41st, 24:40.5), Ryleigh Kleinke (24:42.6), Terryn Chirrick (45th, 24:57.8), and Hadyn Garza (57th, 26:03.1) also raced for the Orediggers. 

Montana Tech will hope to see its name called as an at-large qualifier for the NAIA national championship when selections are announced Tuesday, November 11 at 3 p.m. The national meet is set for November 21 in Tallahassee, Fla.
