LOCK HAVEN, Pa. --- The Geneva College women's cross country placed seventh at the 2022 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional at the West Branch Cross Country Course in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. The Golden Tornadoes compiled 325 points against the 29-team field. 

Sophomore Carmen Medvit was the first Golden Tornado across the finish line in ninth place with a time of 22:27.5 over the 6,000-meter course. Her top-10 finish qualified her for the NCAA Division III National Championship meet on November 19. Medvit and rookie Hailey Carroll earned All-Region honors with their finishes today.

"Our performance was great today," said Geneva head coach Phil Thompson. "In challenging conditions we had two runners, Carmen and Hailey, earn All-Region honors. That is a tough task to accomplish. This team has proven that it is one of the best squads in Geneva history. A very special season has paid off."
