Top 10 of 2010: #9 Villanova Women’s XC Repeats as NCCA Champs
I was never a college athlete, so my opinion here isn’t qualified by experience. But when you think about it, achieving national success at any sport while a full-time student (two-a-days? 20 page papers? Office hours? Oh yeah, sleeping?) is quite astonishing. And to win back-to-back national titles, as was the case for the Villanova women’s cross-country team this year, requires a special level of dedication, perseverance, and tenacity. The fact that speedy senior Sheila Reid nabbed the individual title makes victory that much sweeter. Congrats, Nova women.
