The Wildcats are on a roll ahead of this weekend’s championship meet.
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's cross country team heads up to Albany, N.Y. this weekend for the 2019 America East Cross Country Championship meet. After a strong season with several high big-race finishes, and a New England Championship under their belt, the Wildcats look to make an impact at this year's conference meet.
The Wildcats will continue to look to their seasoned upperclassmen to lead the way as they have all year; fifth-year senior Shannon Murdock (Exeter, N.H.), senior Meg Champagne (Plattsburgh, N.Y.), and defending America East Performer of the Week, junior Elisabeth Danis (Nottingham, N.H.) lead the way into a tough competitive field this weekend.
MEET INFO:
Date: November 2, 2019 – 9:45 A.M.
Location: University Cross Country Course – Albany, N.Y.
Distance: 5k
LAST TIME OUT:
The Wildcats are coming off a team win at the 17th annual Central Connecticut State Mini Meet, with a team score of 25 points.
All five UNH scorers finished the race in the top ten, with junior Elisabeth Danis taking second overall in the race, finishing the 3k course in 9:53.9, her first collegiate 3k cross country finish.

FROM THE COACH:
"We're excited about this meet; every year it's a very exciting and competitive meet. Albany's hosting, and is a competitive and strong team to look out for, Stony Brook is annually one of the best teams in the conference and they're having a good year, and certainly Vermont is a strong team as well, we're excited about the challenge and the opportunity to go out there and run our best and see where that gets us. We've had a good season, and we've trained hard and raced well. Looking forward to the opportunity to race at the conference meet."
