1996 News & Notes

November 4, 1996: In the final regular season NAIA national coaches poll, the Whitman women's team settled into the No. 14 spot, just three points out of the No. 12 slot. The Whitman women had been ranked as high as No. 6 earlier in the season. A year ago, anchored by NAIA All-Americans Jessica Bissonnette and Kathleen Gibson, Whitman climbed as high as No. 2 in the national poll.

November 4, 1996: Using the final regular season rankings as its guide, the NAIA today awarded at-large berths to its national championships. Whitman College was of ten women's teams to receive an at-large berth to nationals, scheduled for Nov. 16 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This will mark the fifth straight appearance at nationals for the Whitman women.

Congratulations!

Not counting inquiries from simpletons who are amazed that today's cross country runners can race across a continent in times much faster than the wagon trains of 150 years ago, you are sports fan number 5 1 8 to have accessed this page since July 9, 1996.
