Princeton Takes Regional Crown
Created: 11/11/2007 10:05:52 AM

The No. 4-ranked Princeton women's cross country team did as expected, winning the NCAA Mid-Atlantic regional for the third straight year.
The women continued a season of highlights by winning for the sixth time in as many events this season, earning an automatic qualification into next Monday's NCAA championship meet in the process. Heptagonal champion and Sophomore Liz Costello was the individual second-place finisher on the women's side, finishing the six kilometers in 19:58 as one of just two runners to race in under 20:00 on a chilly day. Classmate Christy Johnson was, as usual, right behind, placing fifth in 20:18 to make Princeton the only team with two top-five finishers in the event.
Princeton's winning score of 56, 21 places ahead of West Virginia, was solidified by its final three scorers. Freshman Sarah Cummings had a big regional debut with a strong 14th-place finish in 20:42, while juniors Megan Brandeland and Jolee VanLeuven ran together in 20:49 to finish 17th and 18th respectively.
All seven Princeton runners in the event finished in the top 25 overall in a race that featured 198 total competitors.
