PITTSBURGH, Pa. – In its first Atlantic 10 championship, the Davidson women's cross country team made its presence known. The Wildcats earned a fifth-place finish, out of fourteen teams, Saturday at Schenley Park.
"This was a great day for Davidson cross country," said Jen Straub, director of cross country and track and field. "I'm really proud of how both our men and women competed."

La Salle took second with 111 total points, followed by Richmond with 112 points.

La Salle freshman Morgan Szekely took the women's crown by a 10-second margin.

The Wildcats didn't wait long for their next finisher, with Sarah Paddon just 17 seconds behind Osment as the senior crossed the line in 18:22.5. Only 13 places back in the final standings was junior Olivia Menden, covering the course in 18:44.1.The Wildcat's fourth scorer was Sarah Sears.
