NEW HOPE, PA – The fifth-ranked Johns Hopkins women's cross country team continued its historic run of dominance Saturday morning, capturing its 18th consecutive NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship with 37 points to secure an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championships. Leading the way was Carter Brotherton, who claimed the individual title to become the 10th regional champion in program history.
 
The Blue Jays secured the team title with three top-10 finishes and five runners in the top 15, comfortably outpacing Carnegie Mellon, which finished second with 67 points, and Franklin & Marshall, which placed third with 150 points.
 
Brotherton led the charge for Hopkins, crossing the finish line in 20:48.6 to win the individual crown by more than 13 seconds over teammate Alexia Tubbs. With the victory, Brotherton became the program's 10th regional champion and first since 2023. Tubbs, the fastest freshman in the field and the only first-year runner to finish in the top 12, placed second overall in 21:02.4. Sydney Shock added another top-10 performance, finishing sixth in 21:19.6.
 
Natalie Boquist and Ani Wedemeyer rounded out the Blue Jays' scoring five with a pair of top-15 finishes. Boquist clocked a 21:40.4 to place 13th, while Wedemeyer crossed the line in 21:53.0 to finish 15th.
 
Hopkins also saw strong performances from freshmen Kira Dye and Abby Artabane, who both finished in the top 20 in a field of 231 runners. Dye was the fourth freshman across the finish line, placing 17th in 21:56.7, while Artabane followed in 19th with a time of 22:07.4 as the fifth-fastest freshman in the field.
 
The Blue Jays return to action Saturday, November 21, at the NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships in Northfield, MN, where they will look to capture their first national championship since 2022.
