2024 SUFFOLK WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY ROSTER
BOSTON – Three-time conference champion Suffolk women's cross country added more depth in the offseason as head coach Will Feldman brought in eight recruits to help push the blue-and-gold to a league fourpeat.
The group features six true freshmen – Evangeline Alexander, Gina Cappello, Megan Dunn, Taylor Farrell, Katarina Ferreira and Allison Martin – and transfers sophomore Sofia Moukaddem and grad student Amalia Dorion.
"We have a very deep class of talented runners joining us this year," Feldman said. "Leading the way are the pair of transfers Amalia (Dorion) from Adams State, who has a resume that makes her an All-American contender, and Sofia (Moukaddem), who was all-conference at Endicott last year."
Feldman continued, "The freshmen joining them are a talented group of their own. The trio of Megan (Dunn), Gina (Cappello) and Taylor (Farrell) will have a real opportunity to contribute to the team, and break into the top eight by the end of the season."
The group will join the nine returning Rams at the 2024 debut, the 10th Annual Wheaton & Babson Season Opener Saturday, Aug. 31 at Highland Park in Attleboro, Massachusetts at 10:45 a.m.
