Oct-25-08 Women’s Cross Country Team Makes a Clean Sweep of Conference Titles
The Colonials women’s cross country team ran another perfect season in conference competition finishing first at the Johnson, Philadelphia and Luzerne Invitational meets in September, then winning the Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference (EPCC) and the Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association (PCAA) Championship on October 25.
The team’s stellar performance catapulted Coaches Rogers Glispy, Ephener Green, Robert Taylor and El’Phant Eure to their fourth consecutive EPCC Coach of the Year Award and third straight PCAA Coach of the Year honors.
Freshman runners Sophia Downey, Zafirah Green and Maria Morales and sophomore Olivia Mooney received EPCC All-Conference, All-Tournament, or PCAA All-State honors. Downey also was named PCAA Runner of the Year.
On the Men’s Track Team, sophomore Kevin Hannon and freshman Samuel Diaz received EPCC All-Conference and All-Tournament and PCAA All-State honors.
Both the men and women also competed well in out of conference competition, beating several four-year National Collegiate Athletic Association teams – Rutgers University/Camden, Rutgers University/Newark, Goldey-Beacom College and Lycoming College – at various invitational meets. At the inaugural Larry Simmons Invitational held at Cheyney University, Downey finished first overall.
Both teams are now preparing for the first meet of the indoor track season on December 6 at Brown University, where they will be pitted against runners from top four-year, Ivy League schools.
