Pomona-Pitzer (P-P) men’s and women’s cross-country swept the SCIAC Championships on Friday, Oct. 30, marking the first time since 1979 that both programs won the conference title in the same year. With the win, the women’s team ended Claremont-Mudd-Scripps’ (CMS) long-running winning streak, while the men extended their own run to six straight championships.
Both teams entered the race with the shared goal of bringing home a conference title together. For the women’s team, the win was the payoff of years of falling short to their neighbors across Sixth Street.
“It was insane, like so much better than we could have expected,” Fiona Bodkin PO ’27, who finished eighth in 22:14.4, said. “We just blew CMS out of the park, I’m not going to lie.”
The women’s team dominated, placing all seven of their top runners in the top 10. The men’s team, although successful in their goal of securing the program’s 27th SCIAC championship, faced a tighter race, beating CMS 33-39.
