Looking ahead: Haverford graduates a much decorated senior class which featured five runners who were Centennial Conference Champions throughout their careers (Nicole Giannetti, Amelia Keyser-Gibson, Claire Sargent, Katie Sullivan, and Amy Zamora). Looking to carry on the tradition left from that class will be a number of talented underclassmen who made tremendous improvements throughout the spring season. Highlighting some of those individuals were 4x800 meter relay legs Sophie Drew and Molly Hawkins as that relay placed second at the conference championships to garner all-conference recognition.
