Indianapolis, Ind. - The NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Cross Country Committee has announced the participants for the 2023 NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships, and the list includes Isabel and Katherine Marsh. 

This will be K. Marsh's second trip to the big dance, after qualifying last season. Out of 262 harriers, Marsh placed 187th overall in the 2022 field, in a time of 23:04.5. She posted an average mile of 6:11.3 with a 5K finish at 19:15.9. The Adelphi competitor was the fifth overall finisher out of the East Region, which was led by East Region Champion Ashley Corcoran, who placed 88th by crossing the tape in 21:57.0. 

In 2023, K. Marsh became the first Northeast-10 Individual champion for cross country, running a career-best and school record 21:38.1 6k time Sunday to top the leaderboard at the league meet, finishing first just over nine seconds ahead of her sister Isabel Marsh (21:47.00). 

The duo delivered a one-two punch in both the NE10 Championship and the East Region races, the pair trading places for the finish in the latter. 

I. Marsh completed the regional course three seconds ahead of her NE10 champion sister, to win the regional title.

Her 21:37.98 is a new school record, just bettering the 21:38.1 that K. Marsh ran to win the NE10 title.
