For
the fifth straight year, both the men's and women's cross country teams
at Moravian captured the Middle Atlantic Conference Championship. The
Lady Greyhounds finished in the top ten at the NCAA Division III National
Championships.
Behind the running of senior All-American Tara Wartman (Bethlehem/Freedom
HS), the women’s cross country team finished in the top ten at
the NCAA Division III National Championship meet for the fourth time
in five years with an eighth place finish. Moravian won two meets and
was second in six races.
Wartman won five of the nine races she competed in this fall and did
not lose to a NCAA Division III runner until the NCAA Mideast Regional.
She captured her second consecutive MAC individual title at Allentown
College and by finishing seventh at the national championship, Wartman
earned All-America honors for the second time.
Junior Kristie Reccek (Hellertown/Wilson HS) was on Wartman’s
heels all season and it paid off as she finished 27th at the national
championships to earn All-America honors and fourth at the Mideast Regional
for All-Region honors. During the season, Reccek placed in the top ten
in seven of nine meets. Senior Kasie Hornberger (Sinking Spring/Wilson
West Lawn HS) just missed All-America honors by placing 38th at nationals
but did earn All-Region accolades by placing ninth at the NCAA Mideast
Regional.
Freshman Hannah Wood (Palm/Upper Perkiomen HS) had an impressive debut
season earning Freshman All-Regional honors at the NCAA Mideast Regional.
Wood had two top ten finishes during the campaign. Senior Becky Page
(Gilbertsville/Boyertown HS) also earned All-Region accolades by finishing
25th at the regional meet.
Sophomore Jen Samson (Tannersville/Pocono Mountain HS) and junior Amy
Cavanaugh (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads HS) rounded out the Lady ‘Hounds
top seven.
