2003 Women's Cross Country Pre-Season Coaches' Poll
August 25, 2003
PAC Coaches Select Misericordia as Favorite in Men's Cross Country
Aston, PA - College Misericordia men's cross country team has been selected as the pre-season favorite in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) coaches poll. Misericordia, the two-time defending Conference champions, was a unanimous selection, earning all seven first-place votes for a total of 49 points.
Marywood University, which finished in third at the PAC Championships a year ago, turned the tables on 2002 runner-up Wesley College, finishing second in the poll by one point. Marywood earned 38 points, while Wesley earned 37 in the vote.
"We are very proud of the success that we've had in the PAC," Misericordia coach Frank Kinkead said. We are honored that the coaches throughout the league have picked us as the team to beat and we look forward to the challenge of defending our PAC title."
Misericordia placed eight runners on the All-PAC team a season ago, and just two of those runners were seniors. Junior Chris Wadas, the defending PAC Individual Champion, is among the returnees for the Cougars.
Cabrini College (29), Gwynedd-Mercy College (21), Alvernia College (12) and Arcadia University (10) rounded out the voting.
The PAC Championships will be hosted by Cedar Crest College on November 1.
