MORAVIAN
WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD MOVES UP TO 24TH IN THE NATION
BETHLEHEM, PA --- The Moravian
College women’s cross country team moved up one spot to 24th in the nation in this
week’s NCAA Division III Women’s Cross Country Top 25 Poll.
The Greyhounds debuted in
the poll last week in 25th place. It was the first time since September of 2002 that
Moravian had been ranked. The Greyhounds spent six weeks ranked as the top team in the
nation during the 2001 season.
Moravian placed third as
a team last week at the DeSales University Invitational, the team’s final tune-up
before the 2004 Middle Atlantic Conference Cross Country Championships hosted by Widener
University at Belmont Plateau in Philadelphia.
Leading the Greyhounds at
the DeSales Invitational were senior Chelsea Mullins (Jim Thorpe, PA/Jim Thorpe
HS), who was seventh, senior Heather McGarvie (Medford, NJ/Shawnee HS),
who placed 11th of 191 runners, and junior Ellen Hansen (Alburtis, PA/Brandywine
Heights HS), who finished 14th.
