Cross Country Places Four on All-Conference Teams

HUNTINGDON, Pa. – Four Eagles have been named to Landmark All-Conference teams.  The women saw senior Caroline Morgan (Haverton, Pa./Haverford Township) and junior Katrina Woods (Shirlesburg, Pa./Mount Union) earn first-team honors along with junior Nate Alters (Pittsburg, Pa./Taylor Allerdice) on the men's side.  Junior Ryan Trexler (Altoona, Pa./Altoona) was named to the all-conference second team.

Woods and Morgan finished second and third, respectively, at the Landmark Conference Championships.  The pair have earned all-conference honors for the past three seasons.  Woods has the fastest 3-mile run time of all Landmark runners and was named conference runner of the week Sept. 10.  Morgan set the 19^th fastest 6K time in Landmark history this year.

"Woods and Morgan, I mean, you're probably talking about two of the top 125 in the country," said Juniata Head Coach Jon Cutright.  "After last years disappointment at Moravian, this was kind of vindication for them that they were indeed top of the line and they race like it."

Alters holds the fastest 3-mile time in the league this season.  The three-time all-conference runner finished second overall at the Landmark Championships with a time of 26:45.70, his second fastest of the season.

"[Nate] ran a great race," said Cutright.  "There's no doubt about it.  He had a great day.  You can see all the work he has put in in the last couple years is coming to fruition and it's panning out for him."

This is Trexler's first conference honor.  He has the third fastest 3-mile time in the league.
