DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's cross country team heads back to Franklin Park in Jamaica Plain, Mass. for the 2019 New England Intercollegiate Amateur Athletics Association cross country championships.
The Wildcats, who are no stranger to NEICAAA success, will look to build off the success had at the Coast to Coast Invitational, also in Franklin Park, and the Paul Short Run last weekend.
The Wildcats return fifth-year senior Shannon Murdock (Exeter, N.H.) who finished 15th in the college gold race at Paul Short, and junior transfer Elisabeth Danis (Nottingham, N.H.) who finished 30th. UNH had three top-50 finishers in the gold race, the third of which being senior Meg Champagne (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) in 43rd.
The 'Cats will also send senior Madeline Quigley (Rowley, Mass.) juniors Cayla Barretto (Woburn, Mass.) and Caroline Mahoney (Bedford, N.H.), and sophomore Nicole Yeomans (Foxborough, Mass.) for the varsity race.
