Saturday Delaware Valley hosts the MAC cross country championships with the men’s race at 11 AM and the women at Noon. Many of the recent championships have been in very wet or windy conditions, but this year the weather should be perfect. Awards will be presented in the gym at 1:30. Three different teams (Elizabethtown, DeSales, and Messiah) have won the last men’s championships, but the Blue Jays hope to repeat this year after beating Messiah by just four points in 2009. The Elizabethtown women are looking to win their fourth straight championship after topping Messiah by 19 points last year. 15 of the top 20 men’s finishers from 2009 return this year with Messiah’s Tyler Newhook hoping to retain his title. Eric Reichert of Elizabethtown may be his main threat. For the women, Caitlin Dorgan (DVC), last year’s runner up, has won all six of her races this fall. Jenn Cronin of Lebanon Valley (3rd in 2009 MAC’s), should be right of Dorgan’s heels. Eleven other women return from last season top twenty. Regionals are on November 13 in Slippery Rock, Pa. (hosted by Carnegie Mellon); the Division III championships are November 20 at Wartburg College (Iowa).
