Looking Up Senior strength leads Irish track as young program makes great strides by Chris Underfill! In just it ' s fifth season, the Notre Dame Women ' s track program strove to establish itself as a power in the midwest in 1995. The squad received contribu- tions from all four classes en route to the MCC championship. Senior co-captains Lisa Junck and Maureen Kelly led the team, while se- niors Monica Cox and Kristi Kramer also turned in impressive seasons. Kramer competed as the sole representative of the team in the NCAA ' s. She placed 18th in the nation with a time of 37:41.66 in the 10,000-meter run. Junior Erica Peterson, Notre Dame ' s first ever female track All-Ameri- can as a sophomore, was on her way to another spectacular season be- fore a stress fracture in her ankle left her unable to compete. Before the injury, she had been impressive in both the 400-meter hurdles and the 800-meter run. Sophomore Alison Howard was outstanding in the 400-meter dash, as she posted several top times. Freshman Berit Junker was Notre Dame ' s top runner in the 800-meter run, while senior Emily Husted and junior Amy Siegel were a solid combination in the middle distance events. Senior sprinter Cox received high accolades for her strong contribu- tions in the sprinting and the 55-meter hurdles. Seniors Kramer and Ke both competed well in the long distance event Overall, the 1995 season was one of im- provement and establis ment for Notre Dame Women ' s Track. Al- though a talented core i seniors departs, the contributions of the underclassmen serves a good sign for the tea as it readies itself for Bi East competition in 1996.
