The Final Listing Of The Greatest Penn State Womens Cross Country Runners Of All Time, Just In Time For Christmas Unwrapping
With the combination of the AIAW results from 1975-1980 and the NCAA results from 1981 to the present, we finally have complete results of the Womens Collegiate Championships. Those who finished in the top 50 of any of those Championships are included in the rankings. A complex, flawed and arbitrary method was used to rank them according to my whim and mood. I was persistent to find all these results so that I could include some friends I have actually run some miles with. Merry Christmas to Patty, Mary, Kathy, Liz, Kris and Heather.
