Middlebury junior Alexandra Krieg finished 3rd overall at the Div III cross-country nationals hosted by St. Olaf's College in Northfield, Minnestoa. The Wellesley H.S. grad ran 21:23 on the 6K championship course. It was three years ago that Krieg won the Mass All-State Div II championship at Gardner, leading the Wellesley team that won the team title and that included Brielle Chabot (who will be running the DI Nationals for BC on Monday).
The Amherst women won the team title, and running fourth for them was former Newton South standout Caitlin McDermott-Murphy, who finished 54th in 22:32. Amherst senior and Danvers grad Heather Wilson led the Lady Jeffs with a 12th-place finish in 21:44.
Tufts senior and Oliver Ames grad Katy O'Brien finished 16th in 21:47.
Williams senior and Newton North grad Liz Gleason competed in her final collegiate cross-country race at DIII nationals, running 23:17. If you you think the chute at Franklin Park can be crowded, consider that Liz finished right in the middle of the thickest group of finishers, with 5 runners per second crossing the line and stumbling into the chutes.
