Women's Cross Country - Clark guides Cadets
BOSTON, MASS. – Norwich University ran to a seventh-place team finish at the 2011 Great Northeast Athletic Conference meet Oct. 29.
Coach Nick Cooper's squad was paced by junior Mallory Clark (Homer City, Pa.). Clark, gaining her third all-GNAC award, placed 10th with a time of 21 minutes, 20 seconds. She was followed by senior Rachel Negri (Woodbridge, Conn.) who wound up 38th (23:40).
"I was pleased with what Mallory was able to do with the weather conditions," Cooper said. "The team was in the same situation as the men were … fighting colds and such. However, they all went out and gave it all they had."
Sophomores Colleen Pennington (Beavercreek, Ohio) (47th – 24:16) and Samantha Haas (Alexandria, Va.) (50th – 24:21) also were among the top 50. NU ended with 189 points in the team race.
The Cadets break from competition until Saturday, Nov. 12, to prepare for the 2011 NCAA Division III New England regional meet.
