Following on from her record breaking winning run in the NCAA Division II Cross-Country Championships, in Sacramento, California, last Saturday, Stephanie Cotter, Adams State University and West Muskerry AC, has, today, been nominated as the NCAA Division II Women's Cross-Country National Athlete of the Year.
Stephanie has had a fabulous season, turning out in three NCAA cross-country events, and won all three, and led Adams State Women's team - 'The Grizzlies' - to Div II team Gold. Among the Grizzlies team, finishing in second and third places last Saturday, were sisters Roisin and Eilish Flanagan, from Co. Tyrone club, Carmen Runners AC. To crown a great weekend for the trio, they were also named on the Irish Junior Women's team for the European Cross Country Championships, in Lisbon, on December 8th next.
NEW ORLEANS, Tuesday Nov 26th– National Athletes and Coaches of the Year for the 2019 NCAA Division II Cross Country season were announced on Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) following the conclusion of the National Championship meet.
The awards were voted on by member coaches based on results from both the postseason and during the regular season.
Women’s National Athlete of the Year
Stephanie Cotter, Adams State
Cotter, a sophomore from Cork, Ireland, only raced three times this season, but made each of them count, none more so than at the NCAA DII Cross Country Championships this past weekend.
It was in Sacramento, California, where Cotter covered the 6K track in 19:15.5, and became the first woman in NCAA DII history to break the 20-minute barrier at the National meet. Cotter also won individual titles at the South Central Region Championships, as well as at the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships.
On Monday last, a briefing, by Athletics Ireland, for Munster clubs and Country Boards, was held in Charleville. The meeting was organised by Munster Athletics, and was addressed by Georgina Drumm, President, Athletics Ireland, and Hamish Adams, CEO Athletics Ireland.
Cork Athletics Webmaster raised, both privately and formally, the matter of entries for the 2020 Athletics Ireland National Marathon Championship and also asked why such stringent GFA (Good For Age) entry standards were accepted by Athletics Ireland.
Cork Athletics Webmaster suggested that, if 78% of AAI members competing in 2019 were to be excluded (based on entering during the official Athletics Ireland window, beginning April 1st), that the National Marathon Championship be taken out of Dublin and given to another AIMS Registered Irish Marathon, run on roads closed to traffic.
In response, Hamish Adams said "I'd would be disappointed if they (Dublin Marathon) didn't ringfence those 4,000 Athletics Ireland entries"
During the discussion, both he and Georgina Drumm said that they felt that the Dublin Marathon organisers were surprised at the level of response they got during the entry window. They also felt that the Marathon organisers were involved in an exercise, to show both sponsors/potential sponsors how much standing the event has, with, say, 50,000 people trying to get in, and, perhaps more importantly, to show Dublin City Council, the Gardai, along with other stakeholders, how much demand there is for the event. Their approval is critical to any possible increase in the number of entries allowed.
Hamish Adams told the meeting that Athletics Ireland had NOT been consulted on the entry restrictions, or Good For Age criteria for Athletics Ireland members. He said that Athletics Ireland were to meet with Dublin Marathon organisers this week.
Hamish Adams was given a copy of Cork Athletics Webmaster's tables (below) outlining some statistical analysis. He said that Athletics Ireland had not examined this year's AAI finishers to the extent represented in the tables.

Some of the athletes who took part in the training day
Report by Collette O'Riordan
A training day was held on Saturday 16th November, for athletes competing on Cork teams, at the Athletics Ireland National Even Age Championships, in Abbotstown, Dublin, on Sunday November 24th.
It was very well supported and all athletes got to know their teammates. They will be less nervous on the start line as they can talk to their teammates now that they have got to know them better.
Group of Under-12 Boys & Girls
A great training session was completed by all the groups, and they all put in 100% effort on the day. A big thank you is also due to the personal coaches who helped out on the day.
The next training day for Cork athletes, who will be competing in Cow Park Dunboyne, on Sunday december 14th, is Saturday December 7th, in West Muskerry AC's grounds at Ummera, Macroom. Hopefully it will be just as successful as this one was.
Thank you to all those who came on Saturday and the very best of luck to you all in Dublin on November 24th and December 14th.
