Undersized and overlooked: cross country poised to make noise in the Big East Championship

Despite being one of 30 Div. I programs to have a cross-country program and not track and field, the revitalized Seton Hall men’s and women’s cross country teams look to finish with the highest scores in school history.

“This year, we’ll probably finish with the highest score ever for women’s cross country in Seton Hall history,” head coach John Moon boasted. “They’ve been just that good.”

The landscape of the women’s team, who finished eighth in last year’s championship, has completely changed. The Pirates were paced by then-junior Christiana Rutkowski, who finished just outside of the top-30 in the 100-person 6K race.
