Haverford Sports Briefs

By Haig Minassian

(1) Men’s XC Centennial Conference Championship

The Haverford College men’s cross country team finished in second place Saturday at the 2009 Centennial Conference championship meet, trailing only repeat champion Dickinson College in the team standings.

Anders Hulleberg led the Fords in the 8-kilometer race with a fifth place finishing time of 26 minutes, 41.14 seconds that also earned the co-captain First-Team All-Centennial Conference honors.
 
Andrew Sturner, eighth, and Phil Eisemen, 10th, were next for the Fords, followed closely by Tim Schoch in 11th and Andrew Lanham in 12th. Those five combined for 46 points as Dickinson won the title with 16 points.
 
Sturner, Eiseman, Schoch and Lanham, along with 13th place Joe Carpenter and Elias Tousley in 14th, all earned Second-Team all-conference recognition. Falling just short of league honors were Eric Arnold in 15th and Chris Southwick in 16th place.
 
Greg Leak of Dickinson was the individual champion, racing to a winning time of 26:30.71 to capture the crown for the second year in a row.

(2) Women’s XC Centennial Conference Championship

Haverford College women’s cross country runner Emily Lipman raced to the individual championship Saturday morning at the Centennial Conference meet and helped pace her teammates to a third place finish behind league winner Johns Hopkins University.

Lipman, a sophomore and 2008 NCAA championship participant, earned her second all-conference honor covering the 6-kilometer course in a winning time of 22 minutes, 40.66 seconds. The 2008 champion, Laura Paulsen from Johns Hopkins, finished in second place, seven seconds behind Lipman.
 
The quartet of Harper Hubbeling, Liz Zoidis, Kaitlyn Shank and Andrea Tocci comprised the other scoring places for the Fords at the championship meet, crossing the finish line within 35 seconds of each other.
 
Both Hubbeling, 15th, and Zoidis, 19th, cracked the top-20. Shank was 24th and Tocci finished 26th out of the 111 runners at the meet.
 
Haverford scored 85 points in the team race to Hopkins’ 26 and runner-up Dickinson College’s 49 points. Host Gettysburg was fourth with 103 points.
 
On her way to the NCAA meet last year, Lipman followed up a sixth place Centennial finish with a 10th place at the NCAA Regional before closing out her season with an 87th place at the national meet.
