Women's Cross Country Wins Atlantic 10 Championship; Ireland Coach Of The Year
CHARLOTTE, N.C.- The La Salle women's cross country team won the 2011 Atlantic 10 Conference Championships held at Frank Liske Park on the campus of Charlotte on Saturday morning. The title is the seventh Atlantic 10 Conference Championship for the program, the most by any school in the conference. La Salle's men's cross country team also captured the Atlantic 10 Championship on Saturday.
"It was a huge win coming in from the summer and what happened with Coach Torpey and being picked to be the preseason favorites," Ireland said. "The girls and guys both rose to the occasion."
"This win is something that Coach Torpey put together," Ireland continued. "He got them to this point. It was our job to finish the job."
