Colby women's cross country 5th at NCAA Championships
DELAWARE, Ohio ---- Jess Minty (Concord, Mass.) and Karen Prisby (Agawam, Mass.) earned All-America honors in helping the Colby College women's cross country team place fifth at the NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships Saturday at Ohio Wesleyan.
The Mules also placed fifth at last year's national meet in what was their best finish ever in program history. With 169 points, Colby just missed fourth place this year while settling behind Wisconsin-Lacrosse (167). Geneseo State won the meet with an 88, Williams College was second with 107 and Washington (Mo.) University took third.
Most of the course was run on a golf course. The race started late after meet officials decided to wait an extra hour to dry out the course as much as they could.
"This was the toughest course I've ever seen at a national meet," said 21st year head coach Deb Aitken. "It was so hilly and it was pretty muddy because everything was frozen over last night. I think the kids ran as well as they could."
Minty earned her first cross country All-America honor by placing 16th overall (top 35 earn honors) out of 213 runners with a time of 22:41.4 over the 6-kilometer course. Minty, a senior, had already earned All-America honors in the indoor track season in the 800-meter run.
Prisby finished in a time of 22:44.1 to take 19th place and earn her first All-America honor. Twelve of the 18 runners ahead of Prisby, who is a junior, were seniors.
"Jess and Karen both had such a big improvement over last year," Aitken said. "The times are down a little from the regional last week, but that is more indicative of the course than the way they ran."
Liz Turner (Cape Neddick, Maine) was 71st for Colby with a time of 23:36.6, Anna King (Greenland, N.H.) placed 84th in 23:46.7, and first-year runner Kathleen Maynard (Jackson, N.H.) was the other scorer for Colby in 104th place in 24:01.9.
Elizabeth Petit (Grosse Point, Mich.) took 111th in 24:08.7 for the Mules and Hillary Easter (Jay/Jay, Maine) was 198th in 25:23.9.
