The women's cross country team, along with some members of the
men's squad, helped make one of First Generation College
Bound's fundraisers a success. This non-profit organization,
established by women's cross country Head Coach Joe Fisher, seeks
to help students get into college who would be the first member of
their family to do so. The fundraiser was a 5K road race held
in Laurel, Md. It was a sunny, beautiful day;
perfect racing weather. Covering the course as the fastest
woman of the day was senior Alys Cheatle. Her time of 20:21
was good enough to claim the women's title, while fellow teammates
Remy Ball and Mary Shashaty each won their age groups of 14-19 and
20-29, respectively. The women's cross country team had
only six women run the race, as many runners were
struggling with injuries. Representing the CUA
men's cross country team were Andrew Smith, Stephen Jochem, John
Puskar and Scott Pospiech. Andrew Smith placed seventh
overall, winning his age group. -Samantha
