I'm Still Searching For The AIAW Results! I Promise.

I have taken a little light-hearted abuse for seemingly forgetting that Penn State had a rich history in Womens Cross Country before the NCAA ever deigned to allow those with XX chromosomes to belong to their organization.

But that isn't the case at all!  I swear!  I just cannot find the full results of those Championships.  And I have tried enough to have come across some other cool stuff for future blog posts.

But first up is the team scores for the 1975 to 1980 years of the AIAW Championships: All top 5 finishes for the Blue and White!

  1. NC State was a powerhouse in women's cross country back then, with sisters Julie and Mary Shea, Betty Jo Springs in those later years and a few other stars.
    Virginia was on the rise . . .

  4. If you have a contact in the PSU sports info dept., you could ask him or her to try to get results from the hosting schools, Iowa State in 75, Wisconsin in 76, etc.

  5. Runner in the middle with the T is Brenda Webb, who also ran for Kettering (OH) Striders.

    Carol Cook was another Iowa St. great.

  7. Iowa State's team of AIAW dominance subsisted on a well-varied diet and were admired by all.
