PRINCETON, N.J. – After picking up a win at Iona last time out, the Princeton women's cross country team will head to Columbia, Mo. for the Gans Creek Classic on Friday, September 26th. The women's 6k gold race is set to begin at 9:00 a.m. CT (10:00 a.m. ET).
Last Time Out
With Meg Madison clearing the finish line first by fifteen seconds, the Princeton women's cross country team dominated the Iona Paddy Doyle Meet of Champions on Friday, winning first place with a near-perfect score of 19.
The Tigers had six of the seven top finishers, with Madison finishing in first place for the second-consecutive time this season. She clocked in at 17:32.40 to best second-place Rory Clare of Columbia by nearly 15 seconds.
Hannah Riggins was next across the line for Princeton with a time of 17:55.00, with first-years Abigail Errington and Caroline Barton rounding out the Tiger scorers at 17:59.50 and 17:59.90, respectively.
Anna McNatt and Kyah Anderson secured sixth and seventh as the Tiger pushers, kicking out two more Columbia runners with marks of 18:03.20 and 18:05.00.
Before that, Princeton took second at the season-opening Jersey Jam, where Madison was again the top finisher at the meet.
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 currently 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.
