Program Notes

Kathryn Moore '07 became the first Bates woman to win All-American honors in both cross country and track and field.

The Bates College women's cross country team gives student-athletes the opportunity to compete at individual, regional and national levels. Team members are expected to train seriously over the summer and make a commitment to the team and to academics. Self-motivated student-athletes with a strong background of academic success and a desire to compete at the intercollegiate level should consider applying to Bates.

The season begins with several open invitationals in September and early October. The championship portion of the season lasts for about a month, with the team vying for Open New England, State of Maine, New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) and ECAC titles before competing for a spot at the NCAA Division III Women's Cross Country Championship at the NCAA New England Regional Championship.

Early season races are generally 5 kilometers, but the ECAC and NCAA Regional Championships are the full 6-kilometer distance that is contested at the NCAA Championship.

2007 Recap

The Bates women's cross country team finished another successful cross country season in 2007 by logging their second consecutive top-10 finish at the New England Division III Championship at Connecticut College. The Bobcats finished ninth, only one point out of eighth place.

The team was led by Esther Kendall ’10, who finished the 6-kilometer course in 23:00, 47th place. All seven harriers finished within 44 seconds of one another (23:00-23:44).

The Bobcats also placed sixth at the ECAC Championship (top finisher Katie Bash '10, 25th place), seventh at the NESCAC meet (top finisher Abby Samuelson ’10, 37th place), and third at the State of Maine Championship (top finisher tri-captain Aviva Goldstein ’08, fourth place). Senior Aviva Goldstein earned All-State honors with her top-seven finish at States. With 11 of its top 14 runners returning, the team looks forward to another successful season in 2008.
