HANOVER, N.H. — The 2021 season gets underway Saturday morning for the Dartmouth women's cross country team at the Maribel Sanchez Souther Invitational.
This is the third year that the home meet (formerly known as the Dartmouth Invitational) has been named in the memory of the former Dartmouth student-athlete and coach. It was renamed prior to the 2017 season in honor of Maribel Sanchez Souther '96 who passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer in late 2016.
The women's 6K race is set to begin at 11:15 a.m. and follows the men's 8K race scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Parking is available at the Ford Rugby Clubhouse lot.
The Big Green have won this meet in the previous six years it was held dating back to 2014.
Corinne Robitaille and
Anya Hirschfeld look to lead Dartmouth after finishing towards the top in the 2019 race. Robitaille finished eighth while Hirschfeld finished ninth.
In addition to Dartmouth, Maine, SUNY Geneseo, and Towson will be competing.
