The Seton Hall women’s cross country team was paced by its underclassmen for much of last year, primarily with one freshman who finished first among the Pirates in several meets.
Sophomore Emma Newgarden was not expected to lead runners in just her first season. The Staten Island, N.Y. native had endless stamina in the 2018-19 season, as she cruised to first place finishes at the Cappy Anderson Invitational and the NJIT Invitational and third place at the Monmouth Kickoff and the IC4A ECAC Championship. Newgarden remarkably led among Seton Hall runners in seven out of eight events in 2018.
