Williams senior Lauren Philbrook (Hopkinton, MA) finished in
fifth place (22:30) at the recent NESCAC Women's Cross Country
Championship race recently to earn All-NESCAC First Team honors
along with first year Mary Brunelli (West Cornwall, CT).
Brunelli toured the Pineland Farms course in 22:33 and finished in
seventh place. Sophomore Meghan Shea (Nesconset, NY) came in 13th
(22:38)
Finishing just one second behind Brunelli in eighth place was
junior Bret Scofield (Orinda, CA) who crossed the line in
22:34.
This quartet of Ephs helped to propel the purple into a tie for
first place with Middlebury. Williams has now won nine outright
NESCAC titles and has tied for the title in 2004 and 2008. Both
ties were with Middlebury.
Williams has won both the men's and women's NESCAC title in the
same year three times, 1996, 1997 and 2008.
Nationally the Ephs are ranked second and they are first in the New
England poll.
Farwell will rest his top seven this weekend before bringing them
back to compete on November 15th at the NCAA Regional qualifier to
be hosted by the Ephs at Mt. Greylock HS.
