...FOURTH!

That's the highest finish in the history of the school and two more All-American awards, time to break out the champagne in Morgantown. The Mountaineers managed to shave off those 150 points from last year and vaulted up to fourth place as a team. Keri Bland led the way with 14th, Marie-Louise Asselin followed in 17th, Clara Grandt in 42nd, Kate Harrison in 69th, Kaylyn Christopher in 110th, Jessica O'Connell in 160th and Ahna Lewis in 163rd. Keri and Marie-Louise earned another couple All-American awards for the trophy case with their top-40 placings.

The Big Three helped the cause by shaving 33 points (89-56) off of their 2007 totals, but the big move came in the 4th and 5th spots with Kate Harrison and Kaylyn Christopher. Those two bested the 2007 4th and 5th results by 144 points! (286-142) In the process of finishing 4th, the ladies beat Princeton (who tied them at Regionals) and beat Villanova (who beat them at Big East).
