So it was the NCAA Regional XC Weekend at Lehigh, and the Nittany Lion Women won their race to qualify for the NCAA Championships for the 10th time in 11 years.
WOMEN'S TOP FIVE TEAMS
1. (AQ) #18 Penn State, 73
2. (AQ) #28 Villanova, 77
3. (RV) Georgetown, 91
4. Princeton, 93
5. West Virginia, 122
But I was much further north in Canton NY for the Division III Regionals with Daughter the Younger. It was 14 degrees at the start and the whole course had to be plowed earlier in the week!

| Daughter the Younger |
In the Mid-Atlantic Division III Regional at Lehigh, two other Penn State Track Alumni Golfers had daughters competing. Well, Rob Whiteside's Daughter the Elder and friend of the group's Martha White Collins's Daughter were competing.
Phoebe Whiteside placed 28th for All-Region Honors for Swarthmore and Valerie Collins was the 5th runner in 42nd for Carnegie Mellon's qualifying team. Smart and talented!

And as we learned 4 years ago, Rob and Phoebe had hiked a substantial portion of the Appalachian Trail with Valerie Collin's Uncle. I'm telling you, there's always a web!
