ady harriers face tough challenge in the Big Ten
By JASON RADEMAN
Collegian Sports Writer
Asking the Penn State women's cross
country team to repeat on last year's sec
ond place Big Ten finish won't be easy.
But coach Teri Jordan is known in the
cross country community for going that
extra mile to ensure a top-ten finish.
"We are inexperienced, but our premier
goal is to finish in the top 10," said Jordan,
who is leading the Lady Lions into compe
tition for the 15th consecutive year.
Despite the loss of 1996 Big Ten champi
on Kim McGreevy and conference runner
up Erin St. John to graduation, the Lady
Lion cross country team hopes to reload
with young talent.
The team will be led by returning stars
Allison Glitz, Donna Fidler and Lou Hohn

are expected to contribute from the start.
Also competing for the top seven spots
will be veterans Joetta Dweh, Tracy

Susanne Heyer, a native of Leipzig, Ger
many.
Fidler, a junior, is an NCAA outdoor
10,000-meter All-American and an Acade
mic All-Big Ten recipient. She finished
94th in last year's national championship
meet, held at Arizona last November.
"I'm very excited, because we have the
potential to be a great team," Fidler said.
Glitz, a senior from Downingtown, is
also excited about the season, especially
the return of McGreevy as a volunteer
assistant coach.
"She has lots of experience in big meets,
and hopefully that will rub off on us," Glitz
said, one of the returning members of the
Lady Lion team which placed 11th in the

said. "Minnesota brought in some foreign
ers who can really run."
One of the major challenges of the year
looks to be the NCAA Region II meet,
which features the top teams and individ
ual athletes from around the northeast.
The Lady Lions have the honor of hosting
the meet on Nov. 15 at the University's
Blue Golf Course.
Will the home course advantage prove
beneficial?
"The adrenaline will be pumping, and we
will definitely feed off the home specta
tors," Fidler said. "It will help to get a good
night's sleep."
"It will be a challenge,-but we're pleased
to have the chance to host this event," Jor
dan said. "We are battling some early
Achilles' injuries, so we have to be cau
tious from the beginning. But we will be
ready for a great year."
