Hello All! Back again to share the latest news on the Adelphi Women's Cross Country Team. This past weekend we competed in our NE-10 Conference Championship on Saturday, October 20th. The meet was held at Jamesville Beach County Park in Syracuse, NY. Hosted by Le Moyne College.

Being that the course wasn't the easiest to run on, that didn't stop us from working hard every minute of the race. It was a 6K (3.7 miles). Although, we didn't run the times we were hoping for we ran with a drive, a determination to get to the top as far as possible. Stonehill being the tough competitors that they were won the meet. Not to far behind we came in second. "That moment" came into play. The one where you feel the bone chilling thrill of something good happening. That's what happened to us.


It was the moment where we realized that nothing can stop us, and we're ready for the next step. Next weekend is our NE-10 Regional Meet. Same competitors, different drive. With the goal of Nationals becoming more real than ever it has pushed us to our limits. Couldn't be anymore ready.

Hello again! Checking in this week about this

 past meet (Paul Short Invitational)

we just had on Friday, September 28th.

We as an overall women's team did amazing. Placing

5th out of 39 teams definitely had some people

noticing. Slowly moving up in the national rankings

from 35th to 34th now. Individually every girl

set a PR (Personal Record), meaning this time

was better than the last one they clocked from

last year.

Counting down the days until our next race. It's a big one! It's our Conference Championship

where we finally get to verse everyone in our

conference. It'll be a chance for us to PR in the 5K (3.1 mile) race, and check out  the

competition

at this point. 3 weeks until we hit that course.

Couldn't be anymore ready. Until then!

                                                

Hello everyone! I'm Jenn. I am a sophomore at Adelphi University. I am on the Cross Country and Track & Field Team here. Aside from running, I am a Communications major, concentration in journalism. My hope for this blog is to show the hard work our team has put forth to have a successful upcoming season. I love running, and what it entails. Our first meet was at Bethpage State Park, where we versed eleven teams. We won! The biggest goal for this year is getting our team to nationals. Starting from last year where the women's team wasn't even nationally ranked to this season having us being ranked 35th nationally is the greatest accomplishment. This weekend we are racing at Lehigh College for the St. Paul's invitational. Should be a good one!
