Holtschulte, last year’s

26:18.4, edging teammate Matt Winkler by just over six seconds to
go one-two in the race for Williams. They are joined on the first

first time selections. The All-NESCAC First Team is rounded out by
Tufts freshman and Rookie Performer of the Year Joshua Kennedy.
Three additional Tufts men were honored on the second team, giving
Tufts four runners in the top ten, good enough to bring home the
team championship title.
The Middlebury women’s team
won the 2003 Championship finishing with four of the top fourteen
runners in the race. Garrahan, who finished the five kilometer race
in 18:13.6, is joined on the NESCAC first-team by Amherst teammates
junior Carter Hamill, her second selection to the first team, and
senior Aly Venti. Middlebury was led to its team victory by repeat
first team selection junior Jess Manzer. Middlebury also placed
three runners on the second team. Last year’s winner Caroline
Cretti joined teammate Jenn Campbell on the first team to help
Williams to a second place finish. The first team is rounded out by
second place finisher junior Courtney Quirin of Wesleyan University
who finished just 1.4 seconds behind the leader.
Tufts head coach Connie Putnam was
named NESCAC Men’s Cross Country Coach of the Year after
