Williams Women Claim ECAC Title - November 05, 2007
The Williams Lady Ephs captured the ECAC cross country title on Saturday, November 3, scoring 47 points to Amherst's 63 and Middlebury's 104. The College of New Jersey took fourth (155) and Colby College fifth (172) to round out the top five teams. Thirty-one complete 7-harrier squads participated in the event, as well as many individual competitors who filled out the 242 person field.
Held on Williams College's home course at Mt. Greylock High, the 6 kilometer race led competitors through a series of wooded rolling hills and open field stretches. Crisp temperatures and dry conditions amounted to a perfect day for cross country.
Leading from the start, Amherst's Katie Moravec was the individual champion, clocking in 23:03 to edge out teammate Kristen Ballinger (23:04) for the win. Sara McGuigan of Coast Guard (23:10), Laura Coogan of Vassar (23:14) and Hallie Schwab of Amherst (23:16) rounded out the top five individuals, cruising to third, fourth, and fifth places respectively.
Although Amherst placed three in the top five finishers, a strong Williams pack placed 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th, and 14th to finish ahead of the Jeffs' remaining scorers and capture the title.
Williams men win ECAC Cross Country Championships
The Williams Ephs captured their third consecutive ECAC cross country title at Mt. Greylock High School in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Williams scored 45 points, second-place Keene State had 96, and third-place Oneonta had 126. Senior Wayne Hooper from St. Vincent beat teammate Adam Smith for the individual title in a time of 26:14 over the 8K course.
Nearly forty teams competed in the championships, which took place on a cloudy and chilly early November day. The moderately hilly course was firm and dry, leading to excellent racing conditions.
The race lead was exchanged multiple times among athletes from several teams, but the pair of Hooper and Smith ran alone for the last two miles. Led by junior Aaron Schwartz, Williams put all of its seven runners in the top 25. Keene State, which sent only five runners into the race, had four in the top fourteen but a fifth runner significantly farther back. |
