Canada's Sheila Reid raced to her second consecutive NCAA cross-country crown Monday in a dramatic sprint to the finish.
The 22-year-old from Newmarket, Ont., a senior at Villanova, outkicked Jordan Hasay of Oregon over the final 100 metres to win by just six tenths of a second.
"It is very satisfying to win my last collegiate cross-country race," Reid said on the Villanova website. "I still have an outdoor season but coming in here as the defending champion I really wanted to finish cross-country on a strong note and win the individual title again.
"It may sound trite but I love to win and after college the opportunities to race in cross-country are limited."
Reid's victory helped the Wildcats finish third overall. Georgetown won its first-ever team title with 162 points, followed by Washington with 170. Villanova scored 181.
Her win made Reid a three-time all-American in cross-country.
