DiPre and Stancik named athlete of the week

Allegheny College cross country athletes Tony Dipre (Twinsburg, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) and Katie Stancik (Russell, Ohio/Chagrin Falls) have been named the North Coast Athletic Conference male and female runners of the week for their efforts at Pre-Nationals.

At Hanover College in a field that consisted of nationally and regionally ranked competition, the No. 17 Gator men had five runners place within the top 21, led by second-place finisher Dipre who covered the 8K course in 25:33.03.

Stancik helped paced the Gator women to an eighth-place finish as she covered the six-kilometer course in 23:50 en route to a 26th-place finish out of 172 runners.

Tail "Gator"

Here is a short video of our tail gator after our home meet. This is a very typical tail gator for us.

Pre-Nationals Meet: October 4th

Last weekend, the men’s and women’s cross country teams travelled to Hanover, Indiana to preview the course where they will compete for the national championship. The men dominated the event, beating their closest competitors by 44 points. Allegheny’s top seven finished in front of the fifth man for every school in attendance, including nationally-ranked Trinity of Connecticut and Mount Union. They also improved their 1-5 spread to an outstanding 43 seconds. The top finishers for the team were Tony Dipre (2nd, 25:33), Zac Ross (5th, 25:45), Matt Hoy (16th, 26:11), Chris Marker (18th, 26:13), Jeramie Parker (21st, 26:16), Devon Flynnperrault ( 29th, 26:28), and Ryan Sullivan (40th, 26:44). The future also looks bright for the Gators, as freshman Pat McLaughlin and sophomore Matt Brush finished in new PRs of 27:03 and 27:04 respectively.

Unfortunately, the women’s team raced in the middle of a bright, hot day. Several athletes from Allegheny and other colleges succumbed to the heat. Even without three of their usual top-seven runners, the Allegheny women still finished eighth behind several nationally ranked teams. Mia Symoniak was the top finisher in 20th place with a time of 23:33, followed closely by Katie Stancik (26th, 23:50), Claire LeMasters (57th, 24:54), Amber Wetzel (66th, 25:11), and Annie Ginty (79th, 25:35).

On the Road to Hanover

We will be leaving in 45 min to go to Hanover Indiana for the Pre-National meet. Expectations are high as this is the first serious meet of the season. Workouts have been going well and now it is time to see what type of shape we are really in. We will keep you updated and will probably have some video of the trip. You can check out results on the Allegheny Web page Saturday afternoon. Good luck to everyone this weekend.
