University's Amelia Paladino capped a brilliant Senior Cross Country season with an 11th place finish at the Footlocker National Championships held December 14th at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. This finish earns her All-American status. It's the top finish at Footlocker Nationals for a West Virginia female and the 3rd best finish of any West Virginian, behind only a couple top 10 performances (including a 3rd place finish) by Steve Taylor (St. Marys, Virginia Tech, current Richmond University coach).

Paladino's time of 17:45 put her less than 3 seconds away from 6th place.
