For Pomona-Pitzer sophomore Anne Lydens, finishing in 9th place at the NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships has its perks.

As a result of her strong performance last month and throughout the season, Lydens was recently selected by the NCAA as the top runner in the Division III's West Region. Along with the distinction, she became just the 3rd Pomona-Pitzer female athlete to earn All-American honors.

Lydens finished in first place during the NCAA Division III Cross Country West Regional in order to be the west region's top representative at the national championships. She also won the SCIAC Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Year Award for placing first in the SCIAC Multi-Dual meets and recording 2nd at the SCIAC Championships.

Congratulations to Lydens for all of her accomplishments this season.
