The Virginia women’s cross country team is ranked #23 in the latest FinishLynx Poll, as released by the Women’s Cross Country Coaches’ Association. The Hoos opened the season with a win at the Lou Onesty Invitational at home before taking third at the Great American Cross Country Festival last Saturday (Sep 24), upsetting then-#21 Georgia.
Virginia is led by Emily Harrison, who ran for Team USA at the North American-Central America – Caribbean Cross Country Championships, where she took third overall. Harrison qualified for the NCAA Championships in 2004 as a true first-year, earning All-Region and All-Conference honors in the process. She is joined on the 2005 Virginia team by two other All-Regional performers, Shannon Hawrylo and Kara Scanlin.
The Cavaliers return to action on Saturday Oct 15 as they compete at the Pre-Nationals Meet at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana.
