COCKEYSVILLE, Md. - Haverford senior Izzy Miller finished second overall to pace the 28th-ranked Haverford College women's cross country team at the Centennial Conference championships, leading the Fords to a third place finish overall. 

Haverford outlasted rival Swarthmore in the meet, as has been the case all season in the head-to-head meetings between the two sides. By virtue of that head-to-head victory in the conference meet, Haverford earns a point towards the overall Hood Trophy ledger. The Fords scored 97 points to Swarthmore's 121. Johns Hopkins won the meet with a score of 26 while Dickinson was second with 64 total points. Isabel Cardi of Dickinson won the individual title, edging Miller with a time of 21:48.5 on the 6K course. 

Miller, coming off an event title win at the Rowan Border Battle, etched her spot on the All-Conference first team by virtue of the silver finish in 21:57.5. Angie Petrichenko also garnered All-Conference honors as she finished ninth with a time of 22:39.8. Haverford has now had multiple all-conference honorees in four of the last six Centennial Conference championships.  Just outside of the All-Conference honorees was Griffin Kaulbach, as she placed 15th with a time of 23:24.0.

Hannah Yeakey scored 32nd for the Fords (25:22.2), crossing in 38th overall while Lauren Tanel was the fifth Haverford scorer, scoring 41 in 49th place overall. Krysta Nichols had an impressive postseason debut with a time of 25:41.6, good for 51st overall, while Annemarie Wood (84th, 28:23.9) and Hedy Goodman (87th, 29:01.2) rounded out the Haverford finishers.
