There was consistently cold and windy conditions across the East. The weather added an extra challenge for the Nittany Lion Women. But they came through and attained their 9th out of 10 years moving on to the Finals.
And
Danae Rivers has added to her already great resume by placing first for the Women despite falling in the early race. With her newly aquired range, she is becoming one of the greats of PSU Middle and Long Distance running.

In other news of the weekend...
- Mary Cate Curran's St. Lawrence team advanced to the Division III Finals at Dream Park in Southern Jersey. I saw her at one point, but was unable to say hello.
- Daughter the Younger ran in her first XC NCAA race and learned the valuable lesson about going out too fast! Hartwick improved on last year's performance.
- Rob Whiteside's daughter Phoebe placed highly in the Mid-Atlantic Regional in Bethlehem, PA for her Swarthmore team.
- Martha White Collin's daughter Valerie also placed highly in the same race with her Carnegie Mellon team moving on to the Finals.
- John Ziegler and I suffered mightily through a long weekend of Podiatry CME lectures. John's rewards were many, however. I took him to lunch at Wegman's for Kung Pao Chicken and got him 50% off on a new pair of shoes at the King of Prussia Roadrunner Sports store!
