Villanova's Top 4 are Clear, but It Takes 5 to Win -- Who Will Step Up? |
Villanova senior Emily Lipari (bib 499 above) ran away and hid today at the Main Line Invitational, winning the 3-mile event by 14 seconds over former LaSalle All American Meghan McGlinchey (unattached). Nicky Akande (bib 495) was 3rd, some 37 seconds in arrears of Lipari. For the first time Angel Piccirillo (bib 501) wore the white vest in cross country and ran well, coming 4th overall in 16:49.22. Stephanie Schappert (bib 502) -- she of two Florida state cross country individual titles -- was next for the Cats in 17:01.48, good for 6th place. Interesting results: Katie Brislin from the Fayetteville-Manlius cross country dynasty, debuted for Villanova (well, unattached) today in fine fashion in 17:36.23, as she and Caitlin Bungo (17:37.09) both came home ahead of Julie Williams (17:53.69). The final three spots on Villanova's top 7 look still up for grabs. With Summer Cook gone for the Olympic Training Center and the world of triathlons, the back end of Villanova's top 7 needs to be sorted out. Sydney Harris made a claim today for the #5 spot (albeit a full 27 seconds behind #4 Schappert), with Brislin and Bungo on the cusp. If Brislin continues to run well, coach Gina Procaccio might be tempted to remove the red shirt and give her a Villanova singlet to wear. Bungo was #7 today and a 12 second gap followed to Leanne Tucker at #8. Whether frosh Julie Williams, who bested Bungo and Tucker at the Big 5 meet two weeks ago, reasserts herself into the discussion remains to be seen. At bottom, the top 4 look set (with a 53 second spread) and a solid #5 needs to stand up and identify herself. Harris was #5 today, but was too detached from #4 Schappert for comfort. A wiggly #5 cost Villanova a cross country title two years ago (1-4-37-40-90 at Nationals) when the women finished 3rd, only 19 places out of first, something no doubt on Gina Procaccio's mind this evening.
