WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
The Calvin women’s cross country national championship teams of 1998 and 1999
will reunite on Saturday as part of Calvin’s Uknight week activities.
The Calvin teams will be honored at halftime of the varsity men’s basketball
game against Alma College Saturday afternoon. Calvin’s 1998 team captured the
national championship in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, recording a score of 124
points. The national title was the first in Calvin women’s athletics history.
The following year, Calvin came back to repeat as national champion, recording
a first place team score of 85 points at the national meet hosted by
Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Calvin student video producer Mike Zaagman dug through the
video archives recently and has produced a video looking back on Calvin’s
back-to-back title teams.
