XC roster now up
- Thread starter excattyguy
- Start date
Katie Fisher (Ontario, Canada)
Did we know about Katie Fisher from Ontario? I don't recall her name showing up in all our "speculations" about recruits. Best track times I could find are 10:10.07 for 3000m and 4:41.49 for 1500m. Seems to be strongest in XC.
She won the Athletics Ontario Junior XC individual title last November over 5000m. She was 7th (in 18:31.11 over 5K XC) at the 2013 Canadian Nationals XC Junior championship -- about 8 seconds ahead of another Villanova recruiting target (for 2015) Charlotte Prouse (also Ontario) and a full 1:56 ahead of now-Villanova-teammate Nicole Armstrong (20:27.52). In fairness, Armstrong is an 800/1500 runner and is way faster than Fisher at those distances (2:10 and 4:26). Fisher qualified for Team Canada with that result at XC Nationals.
So, interesting recruit.

That's not really a surprise.
"-----------------------------"
I happened to notice that too. 800m guys, have been on the roster. While this isn't a surprise I'm certain Lampron does the same base as everybody else if he's healthy.
Now that the roster's up I thought there may be a chance we may see something unexpected. Not that I had anything in mind, but things happen?
