Conference and National course previews make it a big weekend for Division II and III teams, while most D1 teams take off in preparation for the upcoming championship season. All this and more in the week six collegiate overview!
Division III Ranks
Dickinson Pre-National Meet, De Sales Invitational, and Carnegie Mellon Invitational scatter top-ranked D3 teams across the state.
Dickinson Pre-National Meet:
The Dickinson Pre-National Meet provides teams a great opportunity to preview the NCAA Division III Championship course and gauge how they match up with other elite competitions.
Metro Region No.6 Haverford, Mid-Atlantic Region No.4 Dickinson, No.5 Gettysburg, and No.9 Messiah (Ranking via USTFCCCA Coaches' Poll) among top PA teams competing at the Pre-National Meet.
Haverford's Alice Sappenfield, Dickinson's Amiyah Priebe, Gettysburg's Kathryn Hopkins, and Messiah's Katie Anthony are individuals to look for.
These evenly matched teams will be jostling for position at this weekend's competition.
DeSales Invitational:
Mid-Atlantic Region No.3 Misericordia, along with the Metro Region's No.8 DeSales and No.9 Arcadia (Ranking via USTFCCCA Coaches' Poll), are the top teams to have on your radar at the DeSales Invitational.
Misericordia's Brianna Wagner, DeSales' Shae Zeitler, and Arcadia's Micah Gordley are standout runners competing.
Carnegie Mellon Invitational:
Mid-Atlantic Region No.2 Carnegie Mellon (Ranking via USTFCCCA Coaches' Poll) will host an invite this weekend.
The Tartans are fresh off an 11th-place finish in the brown race at Paul Short. Orit Shiang was the team's front-runner, clocking a 6k PR of 22:32.1. Shiang should carry that momentum into this weekend.
