TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- The Providence College women's cross country team finished 16th of 31 teams at the 2005 NCAA Cross Country Championship in Terre Haute, Indiana on Monday, November 21. It marked the Friars' 17th-consecutive appearance at the NCAA's. PC senior Fiona Crombie (Christchurch, New Zealand) earned her third All-America honor and second in cross country when she placed 14th in a time of 20:18 over the 6,000 meter course. She is the 115th All-American in Friar Head Coach Ray Treacy's 22-year career at Providence. Stanford (146 points) won the team title and Johanna Nilsson of Northern Arizona captured the individual title in a time of 19:33.9.
