University of North Dakota Athletics

Dick Clay's 1994 women's cross country team is one of the most decorated in the program's history, becoming the first to see an individual win a conference crown.  

Highlighted by 2022 individual inductee Kim (Olund) Scheel, the 1994 Sioux captured the program's second NCC crown in history and saw Scheel finish as the first individual NCC champion in cross country.  

After claiming the conference title, the Sioux won the team's first regional crown, still sitting as the only UND team to accomplish the feat. The green and white advanced to the NCAA DII National Championships and placed fourth, tied for the third-best finish in program history.  

Two individuals, Heather Parr and Scheel represented North Dakota at the individual portion of the national championships while four student-athletes earned all-region honors and all-NCC selections.
