The Lady Bears have re-emerged as league contenders in recent years. They took home the runner-up trophy in 2022 after placing fourth in 2021 and 2019. The 2020 CIAA Championships were canceled due to COVID-19.
A year ago, Shaw placed first and second individually. One of those runners –
Thea Schillaci – is back to spark the Lady Bears. Schillaci and teammate
Dana Moreno were second and 12
th, respectively, to earn All-CIAA honors last year.
This season, Schillaci has already earned CIAA Runner of the Week recognition.
