The 32nd annual Centennial Conference women's cross country championship is set for Saturday, Nov. 1 at Gettysburg College. Gettysburg will host the championship for the eighth time overall and first time since 2019. The Bullets have hosted the CC meet more times than any other school in the conference. The men's 8,000-meter race will open up the day at 11 a.m., followed by the women's 6,000-meter race at noon. 

Johns Hopkins has captured every Centennial title since 2008 and will aim to continue its 16-year winning streak as the prohibitive favorite on Saturday. The Blue Jays registered another historic showing last fall, securing a perfect team score for the third year in a row. JHU is ranked third in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) national rankings and first in the Mid-Atlantic Region. 

Six CC teams are ranked regionally entering this weekend's championship. In addition to Hopkins at No. 1, Gettysburg (4th), Franklin & Marshall (8th) and Dickinson (10th) are also ranked in the Mid-Atlantic. Haverford (3rd) and Swarthmore (4th) are ranked in the Metro Region entering this weekend's championship. 

Eight All-Centennial performers are back to compete in the CC meet, including the top six finishers from last fall. JHU's Adriana Catalano is the defending champion and Runner of the Year in the conference and will vie for her third career all-conference honor on Saturday. Also boasting two All-Centennial awards to their names are JHU's Cooper Brotherton and Swarthmore's Olivia Montini, with both having earned first team accolades last fall. 

JHU's Carter Brotherton, Sydney Shock and Viviani Li and Swarthmore's Ania Wong and Elizabeth Page will each aim for repeat All-CC finishes. 

Carter Brotherton and freshman Mia Kotler have put together impressive fall campaigns for the Blue Jays thus far, with each pacing JHU twice at meets throughout the fall en route to CC weekly awards. 

Other team leaders to keep an eye on the leaderboard this weekend include Dickinson's Liza Barbash and Meghan Higgins-Haas, Ursinus' Mia Sideris, F&M's Tara Silverman and Katie Scott, McDaniel's Isabel Meadows-Soto, Bryn Mawr's Eva Ackley and Sofie Prieto, Haverford's Anastasia Jaycobs and Alice Sappenfield, Gettysburg's Elyce Tancini and Rowe Crawford, and Muhlenberg's Jem Berney
