PRINCETON, N.J. – After putting up a strong performance against some of the nation's best last Friday at the Gans Creek Classic, the Princeton women's cross country team will compete again on Friday, October 3rd at the Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa.
Showcasing their depth as six Tigers look to make their 2025 6k debut, Princeton will run in the women's open race which is set to begin at 10:15 a.m.
Last Time Out
The Tigers most recently competed at the Gans Creek Classic in Columbia, Mo. on Friday. Anna McNatt crossed the finish line first for the Tigers, clocking in with a new PR of 20:09.30 to take 39th place.
She was the only woman in the top-40 to pass over 100 runners between the 1000m line and the finish, a feat that earned her Ivy Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday.
Meg Madison was next across the line with a time of 20:27.8 for 63rd place. First-year Caroline Barton scored third for Princeton, taking 85th place with a time of 20:45.0. Peyton Leigh and Kyah Anderson rounded out the Tiger scorers in 127th (21:05.9) and 139th place (21:11.1), respectively.
As a team, Princeton finished 17th of 31 teams, besting two ranked programs and defeating seven teams from the Power 4.
Looking Back at Last Season
The Tigers enter the 2025 season after completing an Ivy League Triple Crown in 2025, which began with winning the 2024 Ivy League Cross Country Championship - the program's first since 2015.
Last season, the Tigers placed fourth at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic regionals.
Princeton is ranked fifth in the Mid-Atlantic Region, according to the USTFCCCA's most recent poll.
Meet the Tigers
The Tigers return six of seven scorers and pushers from the Ivy Championships, and five of the squad that scored at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals.
Incoming sophomores Emma De Jong, Madison and McNatt return after being consistent scorers for Princeton their freshman year. McNatt earned First Team All-Ivy honors in 2024 while Meg Madison was a Second Team All-Ivy selection.
The upperclassmen squad of Stella Vieth, Riggins and Olivia Martin will bring their experience to the season after making an impact in the indoor and outdoor track seasons. The trio helped Princeton to a win in the outdoor 4x800 relay, with Riggins and Vieth picking up additional indoor titles in the 1000m and 4x800, respectively.
About Coach Hunt
The Tigers are led by Brad Hunt, in his 10th season at the helm of the cross country program. He earned 2024 Ivy Cross Country Coach of the Year honors after leading the squad to the championship title. He also picked up Mid-Atlantic Region Assistant Coach of the Year honors in the outdoor track season.
