ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Nov. 19) - Senior Melissa Foon (Lexington, Ky.) will compete in the NCAA Cross Country Championship Monday in Ames, Iowa.

Foon earned an automatic bid when she took third place at the Mid-Atlantic Cross Country Regional Championship Nov. 11 at the Penn State Blue/White Golf Courses. Foon is the first Navy runner to earn an automatic bid.

Foon finished the 6000-meter course in 20:48.59. This was the first year the women have competed on a 6000m course. When converted to a 5000m race, it would come out to a time of 17:20, setting a school record. Foon was awarded All-Academic Individual honors by placing in the top 10 percent in the meet and maintaining a 3.25 GPA.
