Swarthmore Women Take Second at Seven Sisters



HAVERFORD, Pa. - Swarthmore runners Nyika Corbett '10, Emma Stanley '09, and Erin Ronhovde '10 all earned All-Tournament status as the Garnet placed second at the 2006 Seven Sisters Championship hosted by Bryn Mawr on Saturday morning.  The three-mile race was moved to the campus of Haverford College due to heavy rain and poor conditions at Rose Tree Park.

Swarthmore scored 74 points to edge defending champion Wellesley (75 pts.) for second place - Haverford placed seven runners in the top-20 to win the team title.

Corbett led the Swarthmore contingent home, finishing in fifth place with a time of 18:31 over the three-mile loop.  Stanley earned her second consecutive All-Tournament selection with a seventh-place finish (18:37) while Ronhovde rolled in ninth place (18:40).

Wellesley's Clare Egan won the individual title with a time of 17:54, becoming the first Blue runner in 12 years to take first in the Seven Sisters race.

The Garnet will train through the next week for the Centennial Championship Meet on Sat., Oct. 28.  The race will be run in Carlisle, Pa. with a start time of 11:00 a.m.
