HADLEY, Mass. - Williams senior Edgar Kosgey (Eldoret Rift Valley, Kenya) and sophomore Josephat Koima (Eldoret Rift Valley, Kenya) earned First Team All-NESCAC honors, while seniors Jeff Perlis (Bethesda, MD) and Corey Watts (Madison, WI) along with sophomore Anthony Raduazo (Bolton) collected Second Team honors.
A familiar face at the front of the Ephs’ pack, Kosgey paced his squad to their fourth NESCAC title in the last four years as he finished second for the second year in a row (25:57). Koima in his first appearance at the conference championship came in third with a time of 26:18.
A year ago Perlis was a First Team selection and Raduazo earned Second Team recognition and was named the NESCAC Rookie of the year.
This Eph quintet led Williams to its fourth consecutive NESCAC crown giving the Ephs a NESCAC-best 12 titles under head coach Peter Farwell who was named Coach of the Year.
Now in his 30th season with the Ephs, Farwell’s team has won more NESCAC titles than any other during his tenure, as they captured their 12th overall crown this past weekend at Wickham Park. It is the third time in the last four years that Farwell has been named Coach of the Year after winning the award in 2006 and again in 2007. He shared the league’s coaching honors with Peter Slovenski of Bowdoin in 2000.

HADLEY, Mass. - Williams first year Jennifer Gossels (Sudbury) picked up First Team All-NESCAC honors and the trio of Bret Scofield (Orinda, CA), Annie Dear (Olympia, WA) and Lauren Goldstein-Kral (Shaker Heights, OH all earned Second Team honors.
Gossels was the sixth finisher overall and was clocked in 22:19. Senior Bret Scofield managed to finish 12th overall despite a nasty spike wound at the start that required some stitching. Scofield’s 22:36 earned her Second Team recognition for the second year in a row.
First year Annie Dear was one second behind Scofield in 12th place (22:37) and sophomore Lauren Goldstein-Kral came in 14th (22:39).
With the efforts of the above four the Ephs finished second at the NESCAC Championships. The Ephs will next see action on November 14th when they compete in the NCAA New England Qualifier to determine which teams from the region advance to the NCAA Championships.
