Kennard, 69, was part of Texas Instruments’ winning team at the United States Corporate Athletics Association’s national relays in San Marcos, Calif., on July 19-20.

TI won its 12th championship and ninth consecutive title. TI competes in Division II, which includes companies with 10,000 to 49,999 employees.

Kennard, a Richardson resident, said she didn’t run her personal best, but the combination of her time and her age produced the team’s highest score in the women’s 5K and its second-highest score in the 10K.
