The College Rundown - NCAA Womens Teams


Week three of the 2023 collegiate cross country season is underway. Here's what you need to know about NCAA womens cross country this weekend.


The Division II Ranks

Slippery Rock to compete at RMU Colonial Invitational, while Bloomsburg, Shippensburg, and Kutztown face off at Division II/III Challenge. 

The RMU Colonial Invitational:

Anna Igims is Slippery Rock's standout front-runner. Anticipate seeing her in the front pack at Saturday's meet. Don't overlook Igims' teammates Katie Plassio and Ruthie Hughes.

Division II/II Challenge:

The Division II/III Challenge should make for an exciting meet as it is the first time many eastern PSAC teams meet this season. 

Bloomsburg has a solid pack of five runners (Kelley Selheimer, Amanda Kelly, Sydney Werner, Alyssa Cunningham, and Jaime Diedel) that will be difficult to split. 

Shippensburg's Olivia Rieck and Kutztown's Jaelyn D'Amelio are strong runners who will get low sticks for their respective teams. These types of runners could play a vital role in the team race. 

Other things to keep an eye on:

Don't overlook East Stroudsburg's Briana Hennett and Carla Bautista as the Warriors travel to the UMass Dartmouth Invitational in Massachusetts.
