Three Falcons Earn All-MAC Honors

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Three runners from the Bowling Green women’s cross country team earned All-MAC recognition following standout performances at the Mid-American Conference Championships on Saturday.

Senior standout Kylee Cubbison earned First Team honors after a third-place finish at the MAC Championships (20:45.6). Juniors Rachael Withrow (11th, 21:03.3) and Lexi Panning (13th, 21:08.8) were named to the Second Team.

Cubbison’s performance marked her third straight year of conference recognition, earning her first First Team selection after back-to-back Second Team seasons. Her MAC-meet performance contributed significantly to the Falcons’ lowest point total since 1998 and third place team finish.



Withrow and Panning each garnered their first All-MAC selections. Withrow posted two third place finishes this season, one at the Falcon Invitational 6K (20:52.0), and one at the Michigan Open 5K (17:44.6).

Panning, the 2024 MAC Freshman of the Year, capped her sophomore campaign with a top 15 finish at the MAC Championships (17th, 21:17.0). Earlier in the year, she finished fifth at the Falcon Invitational (21:11.0).



The honors cap a season in which Bowling Green earned a regional ranking and captured a home victory at the Falcon Invitational. The Falcons will now turn their attention toward the NCAA Regionals on Friday, Nov. 14.
