Wolfe helped lead the Lions to first place at the METS Championships
PRINCETON, N.J. – Columbia women's cross country rookie Meredith Wolfe was named Ivy League Women's Athlete of the Week on Tuesday after a stellar performance at the METS Championships last weekend.
Wolfe led the Lions to a first-place finish on Saturday, leading the Columbia pack with a sixth-place finish in the 5k with a personal best time of 17:51.00. This was her second appearance ever as a Lion, after she made her collegiate debut at the Fordham Fiasco on September 6 and recorded a time of 20:22.0.
This marks Columbia's first weekly Ivy accolade of the 2025 season, and fourth all-time. Phoebe Anderson won twice in 2024, and Daniela Quintero was named Co-Women's Athlete of the Week on October 15, 2024 after her stellar performance also at last year's METS Championships.
The rest of the results from the METS Championships, including all of Columbia's individual performances, can be found, HERE.
Both the men and women return to action next this Saturday at the Princeton Invitational beginning at 10 a.m.
