Williams WomenRun to Third at Purple Valley Classic

- September 24, 2007

WILLIAMSTOWN - Williams College hosted the annual Purple Valley Classic meet on Saturday, Sept. 22, held at the Mount Greylock Regional High School home course. The meet featured 6-kilometer and 5-kilometer races.

Most varsity runners in attendance raced the 6K course, while the 5K was dominated by Williams runners easing into the cross country season.

The individual winner of the 6K was Plattsburgh University's Toni Wiszowaty in a time of 21:52. Wiszowaty led an impressive Plattsburgh team, which finished second with 50 points, only two points behind team champion Amherst College (48 points). Williams finished third with 67 points. Williams' first current runner to finish the 6k race was junior Rachel Asher in a time of 22:35. Asher was impressed by the results turned in by her teammates, despite hot weather conditions and a difficult week of training.

"I thought our team looked really strong considering the hard week of workouts," Asher said. In the 5K, former Williams coach Karina Johnson ran away with the title in a time of 19:29, followed by Eph junior Gillian Tedeschi (19:41). Tedeschi led a string of 12 Williams runners through the top 13 places, which secured Williams' victory with a score of 20 points.

The performance in the 5K race, combined with the results from the 6k event, led Asher to praise the team's ability to race together. Throughout both races, the harriers maintained tight groups on the challenging course.

"We had some good pack running going on," Asher said.

In addition to the solid results turned in by Williams runners, the afternoon also was marked by the presence of Eph runners from years past. The presence, according to Asher, created exciting feelings throughout the meet.

"The energy and atmosphere today were awesome," Asher said.

The Ephs hope to carry their momentum further through the season as they prepare for the Division I New England Championships, held at Franklin Park in Boston on Oct. 6.
