Cross
Country Team Takes First Place Finish at Ivy Championship
Meet
At the 63rd
Ivy League Heptagonal Cross Country Championships at Van Cortlandt
Park in the Bronx, the Columbia/Barnard women's cross country
team, which had won the first Heptagonal title in its history
last year, made a repeat performance, finishing in first place.
"We did what we had to do. We did well under pressure and
beat a solid Princeton team," Head Coach Craig Lake said.
"Princeton ran well, we ran better. We fought the individual
battles and won them."
Barnard students Margaret Frank '07 and Rebecca
Levine '07 are members of the cross country team. Barnard is
the only women's college that competes at the Division I level,
thanks to the Barnard/Columbia Athletic Consortium. Established
in 1983, the consortium is a unique collaboration of the three
undergraduate divisions of Columbia University—Barnard
College, Columbia College, and the School of Engineering and
Applied Science—enabling women from the three schools to
play on the same varsity teams.
