Hello to all, hope the summer treated you kindly. I also hope that our cross country got in their must needed miles over the summer to allow them to make a nice jump at both the local and Big East levels. Our staff is excited to return every member of last year's cross country squad and to combine this group with 3 incoming distance freshman.
Our top returner is senior, Tyneka Greene, who is entered her second season as captain. Tyneka was our top runner at every meet last fall and hopes to improve on her 19:16 PR at Van Courtlandt as well as her 77th place at Big East. Tyneka led off our Big East and ECAC scoring 4x800m relay numerous times last season with 2:12's splits. Add her 800m speed to her solid summer base and good things should happen.
Our other returning upperclassmen include Rakibat Abiola (Sr.), Pamela Petruski (Jr.), and Sarah Fry (Jr.). Petruski was also a member of the All-East 4x800m squad.
Returning sophomores include Sarah Sudbury, Lori Dougherty, Shakira Best, Katrina Schaefer, Laura Walsh, and Kayla Regulski. Sudbury is the top frosh returing out of Tomahawk, WI. Sudbury was second runner all last season as well as being a member of the All-East 4x800m.
Our rookie class includes three top prospects from New England and overseas. Aryon Trujillo hails from Pinkerton Academy (NH) and Nicole Cocozza from LaSalle Academy (RI) join us from top high school powerhouse. Sabine Schneider is over here from Germany which adds to our already international team.
We are excited to have everyone back from last season and the depth from our new freshman recruiting class will go along way in our development in the distance events and cross country.
We open up at the Hofsta Invitational on September 6th, 2008. We travel to Coach Hurt's Alma mater, Notre Dame, on September 19th, 22008 for the National Catholic Champs.
