Cross Country 2005 in Review
Men's Cross Country 2005 in Review
What started as a vey strong group with several meet victories under its belt ended in disappointment for the Eagles, as injuries ravaged their hopes of winning the conference title for back-to-back seasons and advancing to the national championships.
The Eagles won September meets at McDaniel College and Greensboro College. With momentum on their side, the Eagles placed fourth at the highly-competitive DeSales Invitational among 23 schools. But the injury bug hit the team hard in October, and the Eagles placed second at the Capital Athletic Conference championships and ninth at the NCAA regional race in Conway, AR.
A group of returnees that include Justin Kirk, Matt Downs, George Winslow, and Luke Wolverton will look to rebound with a conference championship and healthy campaign in 2006.
Women's Cross Country 2005 in Review
The dominance that Mary Washington has developed over the years hit a slight bump in the road in 2005, as the Eagles finished out of first place in the CAC Championships for only the third time ever in the 16-year old history of the league. There were many highlights, however, including the running of former UMW tennis player Allison Hazlett, who finished eighth overall at the NCAA regional championship, thereby qualifying for and competing in the NCAA national championships in Delaware, OH.
As a team, the Eagles took first place finishes at McDaniel College and Greensboro College, and also placed third at the DeSales Invitational among 23 competing schools. After finishing second at the CAC championship, they took third at the NCAA regional, just missing out on a trip to the national championships as a squad.
Coach Soper welcomes back all-region runners Hazlett, Julia Rothlisberger, Cristy Falcone (the 2004 CAC Runner of the Year), as well as Ann Tripp and Mary Naylor. The team will set its sights on recapturing the conference title and challenging for the NCAA regional crown and possible trip to the national championship.
