Wellesley Alums Shine at D3 Nats

Two Wellesley HS alumni had standout races at the D3 National XC Championships held at Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana on Saturday.

Middlebury senior Alexandra Krieg (Wellesley '05) finished 6th in the women's 6K to lead Middlebury College to the Women's Team title. Krieg, in 15th place at 1.5 miles, moved up to 6th by 5K (17:44) and held that position to the finish, crossing the line in 21:14.

In the same race, Haverford freshman Emily Lipman (Needham '08) finished 87th in 22:22.

In the Men's 8K, Emory University junior Charlie Meade (Wellesley '06) finished 18th overall, running 24:49.

Also in the men's race were two pillars of this summer's NSRP: Brandeis sophomore Paul Norton (Amherst '07) ran 25:02 to finish 39th, and Trinity freshman Mike Burnstein (Brookline '08) capped a stellar first fall of college XC by finishing 92nd with a time of 25:35. Congrats, Mike!
