Junior Maeve Stiles led the University of Pennsylvania cross country teams at the Ivy League Heptagonal Cross Country Championships held at Van Cortlandt Park in Bronx, New York. Stiles secured third place overall, contributing to the women's team finishing third with 80 points. The men's team placed sixth with a total of 163 points.

In the women's 6K race, Stiles completed her run in 20:58.5, earning her First Team All-Ivy honors. This marks the first time since Ashley Montgomery's second-place finish in 2016 that a Quaker has finished in the top three. Lizzy Bader and Lily Murphy also delivered strong performances, finishing tenth and thirteenth respectively, both earning Second Team All-Ivy recognition.

The men's team saw Michael Keehan as their top performer, securing twenty-first place on the five-mile course with a time of 25:02.9. All five scorers for Penn clocked times under 26 minutes.

The Quakers will now prepare for the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships scheduled for November 11 in State College.
