McNear Hopes

Emory Team

Has Big Year

Emory University senior Susannah McNear of Washington is convinced that it’s not how you start something, but how you finish. The Eagle cross country runner has enjoyed success the past three seasons, but all have been slightly marred by disappointing team finishes.

Miss McNear and teammates have won three consecutive NCAA Division II regional championships and invitations to the NCAA naitonal meet where the team has finished ' 14th, 14th and 21st, respectively. The Mercersberg Academy graduate wants another chance to help Emory finish higher at the nationals.

“Susannah has been disappointed a couple, of times at the national meet and she wants to get it right this year,” Emory Coach John Curtin says. “She really wants the team to win the UAA (University Athletic Assocation) Championship, go back to the NCAA nationals and do well.”

Based on early returns, Miss McNear will have that opportunity. She is healthy and running better than ever, according to her coach, and the Eagles are ranked 16th nationally by the Cross Country Coaches Association.
