CANFIELD, Ohio – The Geneva women's cross country team competed at the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championships Saturday morning, racing on the Mill Creek Metroparks Cross Country Course. While they were not able to defend last year's title, the women ran a good race, finishing fifth overall with a team score of 108. Grove City took home the title, recording a team score of 48 to secure the victory.

As she has for the majority of this year, junior Audrey McAlister led the way for the Golden Tornadoes, taking 11^th place in the race with a time of 23:46.1. That mark was good enough to earn her a spot on the All-PAC Second Team. It is the second consecutive year that McAlister has won All-PAC honors.

Sophomore Hope Haring took second place for the women, placing 22^nd overall with a time of 24:44.2. Just three seconds behind her was senior Lydia Nagel, who ran a 24:47.2 to place 24^th. Nagel led a group of three runners who finished in 24^th, 25^th, and 26^th place, with junior Sienna Jackson and sophomore Nicole Ochs each cracking 24:50 as well. Senior Mara Myers also ran well for Geneva, setting a personal-best mark with her time of 25:34.4, good enough for 35^th place and a sixth-place finish on the team.

The women will now prepare to race at the NCAA Division III Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships in two weeks, on Saturday, November 14.
