About this time of year, we check-out what our East Angel alumni who are running at the collegiate level have been doing so far this season.
Starting in the northeast, Julia Schor, East Class of ’21 and now a senior at Amherst College, has had a terrific season thus far for the Mammoth. Most recently Schor took 24th of nearly 400 runners at the Paul Short Invitational in Lehigh, Pennsylvania, helping her team take first of 46 teams. She has run 22:01 for 6K this fall, and the undefeated Mammoth are currently ranked #5 in the entire nation in DIII.

If you are looking for Alligators in Pennsylvania, apparently you head to Allegheny College. Recent East grad and now Allegheny Gator Sophia Shiroff was most recently 68th of about 180 runners at the Ohio Wesleyan Invitational running 24:55 for 6K. The Gators took second in the meet and are currently ranked 7th in the Great Lakes Region for DIII.

Moving midwest, Grace Todd opened her collegiate career last week racing in the Open Division of the Pre-Nationals race in Terre Haute, Indiana. The Washington University Bear ran 24:13 for 6K to take 20th place. The Bears are currently ranked #14 in the country for NCAA DIII.

Also in Terre Haute last weekend was Lewis and Clark College sophomore Quinn Higgins. Higgins was 100th of over 300 runners in the Championship race in 26:08, where the Pioneers took 18th of 46 teams. Higgins posted a pr of 25:29 for 8K earlier in the season. The Pioneers are ranked 9th in the West Region of DIII.
