VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.- Riding a 21-point team performance in the women's 3,000-meter run and two individual titles by junior Stephanie Cotter, the Adams State University Grizzlies were the surprise NCAA Division II Team Champions after the dust settled at the Virginia Beach Sports Center. The Grizzlies scored just enough to prevent Minnesota State from winning back-to-back titles
The title came down to 0.77 of a second. After all Adams State's participants were done competing, the Grizzlies led by one point, 52-51 over Minnesota State. The women's 4x400 meter was the final event and Minnesota had a team in the race. As the race progressed, Lee (Tenn.) was able to nip Minnesota state and earn the final team point with a time of 3:47.15
The Grizzlies have now won five indoor titles with the Grizzlies' last trip to the top coming in 2019
In addition to the one-point team win, the Adams State saw Cotter win individual titles in the 3,000-meter and mile while senior Miguel Coca won the men's mile title. The Grizzlies now have 38 Individual NCAA DII titles.
Not only did she win the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championship in the fall but Cotter made it three titles during the academic year. In the mile, she took off in the final two laps to pull away for the title with a time of 4:49.89. Freshman Maggie McCleskey finished in eighth place with a time of 4:56.11
