All-conference performer is the lone senior on this year's squad.
Kristen Adams returns for her final season of cross country in 2018. One of the team's top finishers in the two races in 2018, Adams earned All-American Athletic Conference honors in 2014 with her 13th-place performance at the postseason conference race. At that time, she was only the third Memphis female runner to earn all-league accolades. A four-time American Athletic Conference All-Academic Team honoree, Adams was selected to the 2018 College Sports Information Directors (CoSIDA) Academic All-District squad.
