"We are very proud of this class," says veteran head coach Peter Farrell. "It's among the most talented recruiting classes we've had in a while and fills just about every event, including some really strong throwers and distance runners."
The group features student-athletes from 11 states and from Germany. The class includes state champions in the hurdles, triple jump, shot put and several distance events and a German national junior champion in the shot put. The Princeton women won their first Ivy League Heptagonal cross country championship since 1980 last season and then won the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional for the second straight year. Princeton, which also won the 35-team Paul Short Run at Lehigh and was ranked as high as No. 7 nationally during the season, qualified for the NCAA championship meet for the fourth straight year and finished 23rd overall. The 2007-08
Princeton women's track and cross country season begins Sept. 8 when the
Tigers take part in the Fordham Cross Country Invitational.
The Tigers then finished a strong second at the 2007 outdoor Ivy League Heptagonal meet held at Weaver Stadium.
