The Georgetown track and field teams continued on their crescendo to the Big East Indoor Championship this past weekend, qualifying a host of Hoyas to the conference championship during the two-day Virginia Tech Invitational this past weekend.

The anticipation has been building steadily throughout the fall for a number of members on the Georgetown track and field squad — having trained tirelessly for months while watching their fellow teammates perform in the cross country season, both the men and women’s indoor track teams eagerly took to the track at Bucknell’s Bison Opener this past Saturday, providing a glimpse of the team’s encoura

The crescendo had finally reached its highest point. From the season opener at James Madison to the William & Mary Invite to the exciting Big East championships, the men and women's cross country teams had been gradually building intensity in preparation for this final and most important meet — the NCAA Cross Country National Championships.

Three championships gave both the men’s and women’s cross country teams plenty to do this weekend.

Those looking for a close finish, however, were to be disappointed

Thirty-eight teams toed the line, but the Georgetown women had more riding on Saturday’s pre-Nationals than most.

Vying for at-large qualification points for Nationals, the Hoyas were dealing with a bit of uncertainty as they prepared to go against 10 of the top 30 teams in the nation.

Although Georgetown runners Andrew Bumbalough and Matt Debole had already finished first and fourth, respectively, the Tribe countered, having their lead pack place second, third, and fifth.

The Tribe excitement was short-lived, however, as seconds later four Georgetown runners raced into sight around the final turn, erasing any doubt about who would win and eliciting a groan from the William and Mary fans.
