GETTYSBURG, Pa. - Haverford College women's cross country runner Emily Lipman raced to the individual championship Saturday morning at the Centennial Conference meet and helped pace her teammates to a third place finish behind league winner Johns Hopkins University.
Lipman, a sophomore and 2008 NCAA championship participant, earned her second all-conference honor covering the 6-kilometer course in a winning time of 22 minutes, 40.66 seconds. The 2008 champion, Laura Paulsen from Johns Hopkins, finished in second place, seven seconds behind Lipman.
The quartet of Harper Hubbeling, Liz Zoidis, Kaitlyn Shank and Andrea Tocci comprised the other scoring places for the Fords at the championship meet, crossing the finish line within 35 seconds of each other.
Both Hubbeling, 15th, and Zoidis, 19th, cracked the top-20. Shank was 24th and Tocci finished 26th out of the 111 runners at the meet.
Haverford scored 85 points in the team race to Hopkins' 26 and runner-up Dickinson College's 49 points. Host Gettysburg was fourth with 103 points.
On her way to the NCAA meet last year, Lipman followed up a sixth place Centennial finish with a 10th place at the NCAA Regional before closing out her season with an 87th place at the national meet.
The Fords will next run at the NCAA Mideast Regional Nov. 14 hosted by Lehigh University. The 2009 national meet follows one week later in Cleveland, Ohio.
