WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College cross country teams are set to compete at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Lock Haven University Cross Country Course, where the team has already competed twice this year.
Â
The Warriors recently competed at Lock Haven for the Landmark Conference Championships, where the women finished in eighth place, but it will be in significantly different weather conditions. After competing in mid-60s weather during a dry spell, the Warriors will face temperatures in the low-40s throughout Saturday on a course that has had its fill of two days of rain for the regional.
Â
The women's seven runners will be paced by senior
Regan Jury (Millersburg, Pa./Millersburg Area), who ran the second-fastest time in program history on a 6K course, 23:14.9, in her first go-round at Lock Haven on Sept. 26. Senior
Sydney Taylor (Troy, Pa./Troy) is also one of the 10 fastest runners in program history and she posted her best time of her career, 25:05.8, at the Landmark Championships. Seniors
Ella Scott (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty) (27:25.1),
Anna Kauffman (Lancaster, Pa./Conestoga Valley) (28:53.1) and
Lily Zukosky (Forst City, Pa./Forest City Regional) (31:25.1), junior
Emma Ashfield (Tamaqua, Pa./Marian Catholic) (30:12.21) and first-year
Elizabeth Wanner (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville Area) (28:47.1) will also look to factor into the scoring for the Warriors.
Â
Senior
Avery Rosan (Frederica, Del./) will pace six men's runners after leading the team with a 30:06.3 at the Landmark Conference Championships, as he is joined by seniors
Thomas Anderson (Wenonah, N.J./Deptford Township) (41:56.3),
Connor Cornelius (Linden, Pa./Jersey Shore) (32:34.9) and
Depesh Rai (Enola, Pa./East Pennsboro) (39:36.4) and juniors
