The Newbury College women's cross country team had many successes this year as they competed strongly under second year head coach Adam Manewell. The Nighthawk women finished the season especially strong, with 3 of the 6 women making personal bests in the final two meets of the season.

Alaina Fillback (Portland, CT/Portland) had an overall team best time of 22:40 at the Emmanuel Invitational. Fillback also finished first on the team at the ECAC and NCAA championship races with times of 27:47 and 26:27 respectively. Amy Reilly (Warwick, RI/ Pilgrim) came up with the second best overall time on the team at 24:20, which she ran at the Emmanuel Invitational. Also coming up with impressive performances for the Nighthawks was first year runner Kerri-Leigh Palmer (Melrose, MA/Melrose) who ran her personal best at the Gordon Invitational with a time of 26:39.

The Nighthawks also hosted the Association of Division III Independents Championship race at Franklin Park for the first time in the school's history. In the 2008 season, Newbury College will be starting a new tradition as well when they become members of the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC), a new NCAA conference. The Nighthawks have quite a bit to look forward to in the upcoming years.
