The MIT women's cross country team came into Saturday's NCAA Division III New England Regional Championship ranked number four in the nation and tops in the region. Thanks to an impressive performance led by individual champion Jacqueline M. Wentz ’10 and third-place finisher, Maria J. Monks ’10, the Engineers justified those rankings and took home the Team Championship for the first time in program history. MIT and defending National Champion Middlebury finished with the same number of team points, 63, with their top five runners, but Brooke C. Johnson ’13 came through the chute just 2.1 seconds faster than Middlebury's number six, giving Tech the tiebreaker and the New England Championship.]]>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500Sports Sports Shortshttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N54/sportsshorts.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N54/sportsshorts.htmlTue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500Sports Upcoming Home Eventshttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N54/upcominghome.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N54/upcominghome.htmlTuesday, November 17, 2009]]>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500Sports Scoreboardhttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N54/scoreboard.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N54/scoreboard.htmlTue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500Sports Field Hockey Wins Tournament Debut, Will Face Tufts Saturdayhttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N53/fieldhockey.htmlhttp://tech.mit.edu/V129/N53/fieldhockey.htmlBy Greg McKeever
