AACC SPORTS UPDATE
FALL TEAMS WRAP-UP
Our teams enjoyed a great season in Fall
2007 with one team earning a trip to
their national tournament!
WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY
Women's cross country was revived after
a three-year hiatus, and coach JIM
GRIFFITHS took on the challenge of resurrecting
the program. Griffiths coaches
women’s soccer and lacrosse at AACC
and has proven his ability to lead those
successful programs, so it comes as no
surprise that he continued that standard
of excellence with the cross country program.
His 2007 runners were crowned
champions the Maryland Junior College
Athletic Conference (MD JUCO) and
won the National Junior College Athletic
Association (NJCAA) Region XX tournament,
which earned them a trip to the
Division III National Championship in
Suffolk, New York on Nov.10 where
they finished 11th in the nation. His
team of seven women all plan to play
lacrosse in 2008, so they look forward to
starting practice in great physical shape,
which will help them as they work
towards a goal of winning the national
championship for the third year in row.
WOMEN’S SOCCER
Griffiths also coached women’s soccer
this past spring, although he had planned
to give it up to focus on lacrosse and
