PENN STATE OUTLOOK
Penn State is building momentum at the correct time as it heads into regional competition. Both Nittany Lion squads performed well at the Big Ten Championships at the end of October, and both have already raced this year's NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional course at Lehigh.
Penn State competed at the Goodman Campus Cross Country Course earlier this season in the Lehigh Paul Short Invitational on September 30. The men's team finished fifth out of 43 teams and the women finished fourth of 44. The Nittany Lions aim to continue their success from, not only the Paul Short run, but their excellent outing at the Big Ten Championships as they compete against their fellow Mid-Atlantic Region teams on Friday.
Maddie Ullom took home sixth place in the Women's 6K at the 2023 Big Ten Championships on October 27, with Florence Caron finishing 11th and Kileigh Kane 13th. The phenomenal performance of the womens team's top-five runners helped the squad to a fourth-place finish in the conference. The team hopes to build off its stellar outing at the Big Ten meet at regionals on Friday.
Evan Dorenkamp was Penn State's top finisher at the Big Ten Championships for the men's team. He placed 17th in the conference, helping the Nittany Lion men secure a sixth-place standing. Freshman Brian DiCola was Penn State's second runner across the line in the race and set a personal record time of 25:01.5 in the Men's 8K. The men's team earned their highest placement in the Championships since 2019.
THE NCAA MID-ATLANTIC REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Last season's NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional meet was held in Happy Valley on the Blue & White Golf Courses. The teams ran through rain and a challenging muddy course. Penn State's Faith DeMars and Kane cracked the top 25 with DeMars finishing in 21st and Kane in 24th, both earning All-Region honors. The Nittany Lion women enter this year's regionals ranked No. 2 in their region and ready to compete against their Mid-Atlantic region foes.
The men's team finished sixth at the regional meet last season after starting the day ranked No. 12. Brandon Hontz fueled the men's team's exceptional race with a 24th -place finish. Brendan Colwell came in 35th, and Behailu Bekele-Arcuri placed 41st. The men's squad performed extremely well against teams that had previously given them a challenge during the regular season. The group will come into competition at regionals ranked No. 6 in the region, six spots higher than their incoming ranking at last season's meet.
