PHILADELPHIA – The Ivy League announced its cross country postseason awards on Tuesday, as the University of Pennsylvania cross country programs saw representation by four student-athletes.
 
The Quakers had three All-Ivy performers this season, led by junior Maeve Stiles with a third-place finish at Ivy Heps to earn a first-team accolade. It's the first of her career, clocking a time of 20:58.5 on the Van Cortlandt Park 6K course, a time that is the second fastest in program history at Heps, only behind Ashley Montgomery's 2016 time of 20:31.7.
 
She was joined on All-Ivy by teammates Lizzy Bader and Lily Murphy, both of which earned second team. Bader, a senior captain, took 10th in the race with a time of 21:21.8. It's a career-best time and the seventh best mark at Ivy Heps for a Quaker all time.
 
Murphy, in her first conference championship, took 13th with a time of 21:33.4, as she continued to be a scorer for the Quakers in every race she competed in this season.
 
The women's team scoring three All-Ivy runners has only been done one other time in program history, in 2019 when the Quakers had Maddie Villalba make first and Ariana Gardizy and Nia Akins on second.
 
The Ivy League also announced their All-Academic awards, as Stiles and Michael Keehan represented Penn. It is the first academic honor for both student-athletes.
 
The Quakers have the weekend off to continue preparations for the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships, on Friday, November 11. The race will take place at Penn State, a course Penn competed on in the season opener at the Spiked Shoe Invitational.
