Junior Nihal Kayali was elected captain of the 2012 squad, and junior Elizabeth Marvin was honored with the Mike Stanley-John Cleary Class of 1954 Women’s Cross Country Award, given annually to "the outstanding member of the Yale women's cross country team who excels in Dedication, Commitment, and Inspiration to the sport of cross country."

Epstein was 11th out of 243 runners, clocking in at 21:05.2. Marvin crossed the line in 21:17.4, good for 17th overall. For their efforts, they were selected as members of the All-Northeast team Mon, 14 Nov 2011 05:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/201111147hrvb3 2011-11-14T05:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111112i3mo1h In its best finish since 2005, the Yale women's cross country team placed sixth out of 36 teams at the NCAA Northeast Regional meet. The meet was close: the Bulldogs combined for 164 points, just one point behind nationally-ranked Providence College and four in front of Connecticut. Yale put the exclamation point on a season that has proven to be its best in over five years. In 2005, Yale finished fifth at Regionals behind Lindsay Donaldson '08, who qualified for the national championship that year, her second of four appearances at NCAAs.

Sophomore Liana Epstein was seventh overall and junior Elizabeth Marvin was eighth. Epstein joined the rest of the top seven finishers on the first team All-Ivy list while Marvin was named second team All-Ivy.

The Bulldogs will compete against representatives from 39 other schools for the right to advance to the NCAA Championship, to be held on Nov. 21 in Terre Haute, Ind.

This is the team’s highest finish since 2006, when they were also fourth. A layer of snow blanketed the ground and continued to fall throughout the entire race. The temperature at the conclusion of the race was 32°F, less-than-ideal conditions for any meet, let alone a championship. Sat, 29 Oct 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111029ksd10k 2011-10-29T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111026dbwnli The Yale women’s cross country team, currently ranked 36th in the nation, will travel to Princeton on Saturday to toe the line against the rest of the Ancient Eight in the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships (Heps). The Bulldogs are looking to avenge an eighth-place finish at last year’s race. This goal looks entirely possible because the team has come close to breaking the top 30 in the nation this season, and has been ranked in the top 36 for the past three weeks. Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111026dbwnli 2011-10-26T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111015316pfs The Yale women's cross country team finished first overall in the Princeton Invitational on Saturday, sweeping the top five places to score a perfect 15 points, the lowest possible total. The team got a valuable chance to preview the site of this year's Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, to be held on Oct. 29. Sat, 15 Oct 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111015316pfs 2011-10-15T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111012uqiku2 The Yale women’s cross country team will travel to Princeton, N.J., this weekend to compete in the Princeton Invitational. The six-kilometer course is the same that the team will run at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships on Oct. 29, so this Saturday’s meet offers a welcome preview of the course for that race. 21 teams will participate in the Invitational, considerably more than the eight that will compete at Heps, allowing the Bulldogs to see how they might perform on the course in a large field. This kind of preview is valuable information for a team that received 16 votes in the USTFCCCA’s national rankings last week, meaning it is ranked 32nd in the country. The Bulldogs are also ranked third overall in the Northeast region. Wed, 12 Oct 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111012uqiku2 2011-10-12T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111008yswvpo The Yale women's cross country team competed in the New England Championships today, placing 16th of 39 teams. Senior Lindsey Raymond was the team's front-runner, placing in the top 40 of 269 athletes. The Bulldogs combined for 477 points while the championship went to the women of Boston College with 38 points. Dartmouth was fifth (177 points) and Brown was 24th (648 points).

Almost half of the Bulldogs who will race are in their first collegiate season and will gain valuable experience at the meet, one of the largest of the season. 47 teams and 322 athletes competed in the 2010 New England Championships; last year’s Bulldogs placed eighth. The meet will be held at Franklin Park in Boston, where Yale competed against Harvard and Princeton on Sept. 17. Wed, 05 Oct 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111005y9d7e8 2011-10-05T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111003g12c9w The Yale women's cross country team jumped to third in the USTFCCCA cross country regional rankings on Monday, eclipsing their prior position of 13th. The Bulldogs leap-frogged other Ivy teams, such as Dartmouth and Cornell, as well as usual powerhouses like Boston College, Stony Brook and Connecticut. The ten-spot jump was the largest in the Northeast region this week. Only Providence and Syracuse are ranked higher than the Bulldogs this week. Mon, 03 Oct 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20111003g12c9w 2011-10-03T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20110930agyboq The Bulldogs placed sixth out of 45 teams at the Paul Short Invitational today. Yale was bested only by Providence, Villanova, Syracuse, Georgetown and Virginia, all of which are nationally-ranked. The Bulldogs bested Duke (ranked 9th nationally), as well as Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Harvard and Penn. The team proved that it can compete with the best in the nation, as well as the Ivy League. Fri, 30 Sep 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20110930agyboq 2011-09-30T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20110928l39ktb This Friday, the Yale women’s cross country team will travel to Bethlehem, Pa., to compete in the Paul Short Invitational, hosted by Lehigh University. The field of 45 teams is one of the largest the Bulldogs will participate in this season, and is a good practice run for other regional meets like the New England Championships next month, as well as the NCAA Regional Qualifier in November. Wed, 28 Sep 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20110928l39ktb 2011-09-28T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/201109178ibgkk On Saturday the women’s cross country team defeated Harvard but fell to Princeton in another closely-contested meet. Sophomore Liana Epstein was the first finisher for the Bulldogs, placing second overall just behind senior All-American Alex Banfich of Princeton. The team compiled 36 points, just nine more than Princeton (27). Harvard was last of the three squads with 71 points. Sat, 17 Sep 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/201109178ibgkk 2011-09-17T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20110914z9dcj3 Buoyed by a second-place finish at the first meet of the season, the Yale women’s cross country team will travel to Boston on Saturday to take on Harvard and Princeton in the annual grudge match. Last weekend’s meet at Fordham revealed a Bulldog team that is effective at running closely together, and picking up spots as they go. In a smaller meet such as HYP this coming week, teamwork will be critical in achieving a competitive place. Wed, 14 Sep 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20110914z9dcj3 2011-09-14T04:00:00Z http://www.yalebulldogs.com/sports/w-xc/2011-12/releases/20110910u1peqy The Bulldog women’s cross country team laced up its racing flats for the first time this season on Saturday, where they faced off against 16 other squads. Sophomore Melissa Chapman won the race in a blistering 18:03.63, leading her team to second place overall. The team was only nine points behind Princeton, a nationally-ranked squad and the defending Ivy champions. The third-place team, Penn, had more than double Yale’s 43 points. The Bulldogs posted an impressive showing at their first meet, and showed that they can be competitive within the Ivy League.

The Bulldogs have already experienced one major change before the season has even begun: they welcome Amy Gosztyla as their new head coach. The team ended last season with an 11th-place finish at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championship, and is looking to build on the strength of individual performances, as well as team efforts.
