Through their leadership and athletic ability, Maribel Sanchez and Kristen Manwaring have been the driving force behind a successful Big Green cross country team for the past three years.
Last weekend at the Heptagonal Championships in New York City, N.Y., these two runners led the Dartmouth runners to their third straight Heps Championship.
For the second year in a row, Sanchez won the event and Manwaring came in second. This year Manwaring was only a second behind her teammate.
Through her years as a Big Green runner, Sanchez owns four school records, four All-Americans and many All-Ivies.
Manwaring holds seven school records, a couple All-American titles and many All-Ivy distinctions as well. She also qualified for the U.S. Olympic trials this past summer.
