 Coaches Corner:

"I really feel the women out performed my expectations today. Coming in we knew it was going to be a tight race for the team title and that it was potentially going to come down to our 4th and 5th runners. Alex Kile ran a really strong race for a first place victory and course record.  Arrisyn Amotower and Minka Amtower put in a solid performances, as expected, with Minka running down a girl in the last 1000 meters that had a substantial lead on her so we could go 1,2, 3. Alexa VanMeter sealed the deal for us as she was predicted to be behind Harford CC 4th and 5th girl, which could have potentially given them the victory, however she ran a gutsy race and finished right behind their 3rd runner giving us that score that we could hold off Harford for the Regional title.  Audrey Sorton and Sarah Wharton also ran great races keeping it close, so we could nail down that team title. Audrey finished up the season with a 3 minute personal best in which we knew she was going to have to do for us to win Regionals. We still have some unfinished business and I really feel this group is up for the challenge as we head into Nationals, with a top 25 finish in mind."

 

The Catamounts Women's Cross Country team will head to Tallahasee, FL, November 12, for the NJCAA National Meet.
