Title: M & W Cross Country
Post by: sbufan on June 23, 2012, 04:07:28 pm

I figured I would start a thread on men's and women's cross country. Our women's team won their fifth consecutive AE title last season, but only return 5 letter winners from last years team. They'll likely need some impact freshman or transfers if they'll get the 6-peat. On the men's side, Eric Speakman is the top returner from last years America East championships. Any word on incoming recruits for this fall?

I dont know what we have returning but it doesnt  take much to rebuild a cross counrty team. Two maybe three good runners can make a huge difference.

Women's Cross Country wins the sixth consecutive title today. Men's win their first title. What a great day for Stony Brook Cross Country. Wish them well at the NCAAs

Lucy Oliver (nee Van Dalen) has been selected in the 5000m. The 27-year-old Auckland-based Oliver ran in the 1500m at the 2012 London Olympics, progressing through to the semi-finals, and also raced at Glasgow in the 1500 (14th) and 5000m (13th).

Formerly coached by Alec McNab in Wanganui and then Andy Ronan at Stony Brook University in New York, Oliver is now coached by Adrian Blincoe, himself an Olympian at Beijing and the current New Zealand men’s 5000m record holder.
