Season Outlook
Haverford was crowned Centennial Conference champion both indoors and outdoors for the second straight year in 2007.
The team also enjoyed three All-America performances – two by recent graduate and 8-time All-American Aislinn Sowash in the indoor 55- and outdoor 100-meter hurdles, and the first national honor for Annick Lamar ’08 in the 800- meter run. Four other NCAA provisional qualifying marks were recorded by then-seniors Claire Brislin ’07 and Maxine Markfield ’07 in the 400 intermediate hurdles and 3,000 steeplechase, respectively, by Darian Lunne ’08 in the 800 meters, and by Jessie Belden ’09 in the heptathlon.
Besides Lamar, Lunne and Belden, other top returnees for Haverford in will include sophomore Aileen Keogh, who won the Centennial championship and set a school record in the 400 dash as a frosh, and Class of 2008 distance stars Deirdre Din, Emma Lo and Jane Weber. Junior Lena Edelstein and senior Brandy Gonzales are among the best 3,000 steeplechase competitors in the conference, while junior Meg Morrison and soph Eliza Reiss show tremendous promise as hurdling heirs to Sowash and Brislin. Junior Southey Saul joins Lunne as a major middle distance threat.
