Only two of the seven runners were returnees,and they started with the attitude of obtaining some never before accomplished goals. Excitement ran high during the season and peaked on several occasions. One of these occasions occurred when the team beat "They also successfully defended their N.C.C.A.A. district title, with sophomore Jane Romig winning the meet." Spring Arbor, the 1982 N.C.C.A.A. champs, placing second at the Ohio Weslyan invitational. They also successfully defended their N.C.C.A.A. district title, with sophomore Jane Romig winning the meet. The team then participated in the N.A.I.A. district meet, where they surprisingly beat Walsh College and finished second to Malone College. The team ran their best race of the year at the N.C.C.A.A. national meet where they placed second out of the eleven schools represented. The team's top two runners, Jane Romig and Sue Vaughan,obtained All-American honors that day, which was a first for Cedarville's women cross country team. The female harriers ended their first winning season with an 18-14 record. by Beth Britton 196 Women's Cross Country First row: Mindy Ackley, Debbie Pate, Sandy O'boyle, Sue Vaughan; Second Row:Coach Elvin King, Heidi Withrow, Becky Averill, Beth Britton, Nane Romig, Manager Becky Payton.
