Women's Cross Country Adds Five Runners in 2025

ERIE, Pa. – Gannon women's cross country coach Rob Ahrens enters the 2025 campaign, his fourth at Gannon, with nine members returning from the 2024 edition. Four of those returnees were freshmen a year ago and now he has announced the addition of five first-year runners to his program.
 
"I'm thrilled to share that we have an exciting group of student-athletes joining us this year who will make big contributions both athletically and academically," related Ahrens. "This group will give us added depth in our roster this season and set a course for a bright future during their time as Golden Knights. I'm expecting our women's team to take a big step forward this fall and these runners will play a big role in making that happen!"

Gannon opens the 2025 season hosting the Race in the Park in Fairview, Pa. on Friday, September 5.
 
The list of newcomers to the 2025 roster include:
 
Josey Blackburn (Northfield, Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy) -- Fr. -- Northfield, Ohio / Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy
