GCC Harriers Sweep Cal-Pa Invitationals: Womens Report

In one of the most impressive performances in recent Grove City history, the mens and womens teams won their respective divisions of the California University of Pennsylvania Invitationals. Congratulations to Coach Sean Severson and the teams!

Led by the second place finish of Kristen Carter, the top five for the Wolverines all finished in the top ten, and the top seven all finished in the top 15 overall. Finishing 4th overall was junior Julia Seward, and the next four runners were all freshmen (!), Brigitte Fryan in 6th, Emily Pierce in 8th, Jessica Vernon in 10th and Laura Koller in 14th. Senior Amanda Hewitt rounded out the top seven, finishing in 15th place. Senior Rachael Smith finished two places later.

We are also pleased to report that Emily Pierce's older sister, Cara (last year's Grove City Athlete of the Year), who is working in Honduras, safely survived Hurricane Felix this week.
