LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Nov. 14, 2009) – Grace Peck and Denali Hasley have been running cross country for Occidental College for four years. In their final collegiate race they were sure to leave it all out on the course. Peck was the top finisher for the Tigers, who finished fifth as a team, while Hasley was third as sophomores Sadie Mohler and Eliza Dornbush were second and fourth for the Black and Orange, respectively, as all four earned All-West Region honors.
CHINO, Calif. (Oct. 31, 2009) – With their second consecutive team title, the nationally ranked women’s cross country team has swept both SCIAC meets to take home the 2009 SCIAC Championship. Freshman Phoebe Merritt led the way once again, finishing third today, improving one spot from her SCIAC multi dual finish. This also marked the second conference title for the women in the past three years.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Oct. 28, 2009) – The Oxy cross country teams will compete in the SCIAC Championships this Saturday at Prado Park. For the first time this season, the women have garnered national recognition, as they enter Saturday ranked 30th in the country.
LA MIRADA, Calif. (Oct. 17, 2009) – Freshman Phoebe Merritt led the women’s cross country team to their first team title of the season at the SCIAC Multi Dual at La Mirada Park. Merritt continued her streak as the No. 1 runner for the Tigers as she finished fourth overall with a time of 23:05.27. The freshman has been Oxy's top finisher in every meet this season.
CLAREMONT, Calif. (Oct. 3, 2009) The women’s cross country team finished second in the West Region Preview Meet on the campus of the Pomona Pitzer Colleges this past weekend. The meet not only gave the women a chance to see how they stack up with the top teams in the west, but also the opportunity to race on the course that will determine who will compete at the National Championships in Cleveland, OH., as the Sagehens will host the West Region Championships on November 14th.
SEATTLE, Wash. (Sept. 19, 2009) – Eric Kleinasser finished 5th in the Sundodger Invitational held on the campus of the University of Washington. But the men weren’t the only one’s running in Seattle, as the women took a team up there as well, led by Phoebe Merritt who finished 7th in her first ever 6K event. This was a busy weekend as both the men and the women were split up, with half going to Seattle, and the other half staying closer to home to compete in the UC Riverside invitational, with Mario Castillo leading the way for the men as their top finisher, and Denali Halsey pacing the women in the open division of the event. Both fields were stacked with some of the best long distance runners on the west coast.
