BETHLETHEM, Pa. – Dartmouth women's cross country competed at the Paul Short Run on Friday, Oct. 2, 2026, hosted by Lehigh University.
"I thought our student-athletes competed with heart today at the Paul Short Invitational," said Mike Nelson, the Marjorie & Herbert Chase '30 Director of Dartmouth Track & Field and Cross Country. "The weather was unseasonably warm and that had some effects on the race. We fought through the conditions for a solid team result. We had some runners who had great days while others struggled but we learned a lot."
The Big Green finished 22nd in the Women's 6K in a competitive field and were led by Virginia Kraus, who was the first runner for Dartmouth to cross the finish line, in sixth place overall, in a time of 20:42.0. Emmy Thornton was the second Dartmouth runner to cross the finish line in 106th place in a time of 22:12.3. Virginia Averyt was the third Big Green runner to finish in a time of 22:30.6 in 136th place.
Annamaria Bacchetta was the fourth Dartmouth runner to cross the finish line in a time of 22:57.3. Rounding out the top five, Lia Banovac was the fifth runner to finish for the Big Green in a time of 23:03.6.
"Connor Foley and Virginia Kraus lead the way with some awesome individual performances. We will hopefully get some runners back from injury before our next meet and be able to keep progressing as a team. Go Big Green!"
Up Next:
Dartmouth will make the short trip to Hopkinton, N.H. for the NEICAAA Championships on Friday, Oct. 9.
