Cross Country Heads to the NCAA Mideast Regionals
The
cross country men and women
will be in action again on November 11, when they travel to Waynesburg for
the NCAA Mideast Regionals. The men figure to be led by senior captain
Brad Ruffo (West Middlesex/West Middlesex), who has placed first for the
team in every race this season. The women should be paced by Jenny
Bailey (Corry/Corry), who has set the standard for the Behrend women in
every race thus far. Both Ruffo and Bailey were All-Conference
First-Team selections for the men's and women's teams respectively.
Top performers at the Mideast Regionals will be qualified for the NCAA Nationals. Last season Ruffo became the first Behrend Lion to qualify for the race, placing 62nd with a time of 26:53. The men as a team finished 20th out of a total of 42 teams last season at Regionals, while the women grabbed 31st out of 46.
For runners that do not
qualify for Nationals, the Mideast Regionals will mark the end of their
cross country season.
