An accolade-filled fall season has earned the John Carroll women's cross country coaches the title of 2015 OAC Women's Coaching Staff of the Year. Head coach
Kyle Basista, assistant coach
Jake Alexander and graduate assistant
Bobby Over were recognized by the conference for the success of the 2015 campaign.
The most notable team accomplishments include a second-place finish at the OAC Championships and fifth-place finish at the Great Lakes Regional.
The season began with a win at the Penn State Behrend Invitational. Two weeks later, the team placed fourth out of 19 teams at the All-Ohio Championships in Cedarville, Ohio.
The Blue Streaks were productive during OAC Championship weekend as five runners earned All-OAC honors including first team honors for
Becky Rohwer and
Schasia Modrzynski, with
Erin Kiley,
Hanna Sterle and
Ang Bucci finishing on the second team. The 2015 tournament marked the fourth OAC runner-up finish in the last 11 years for the Blue Streaks program.
A trip to Terre Haute, In. for the Great Lakes Regional was another opportunity for Basista and Alexander to lead their team to even higher success. Modrzynski and Kiley continued their exceptional campaigns with times of 22:53 and 22:57 to earn All-Great Lakes Regional honors. Rohwer led the team with a 14
