Two former Rhode Island high school stars will be toeing the line at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, Monday at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Ind.

Lincoln's Elizabeth Carlson - who was a four-time first-team All-State cross country runner and a two-time All-State swimmer for the Lions - helped the Stony Brook women's cross country team qualify for the NCAA Championships for the first time in the program's history with her 48th-place finish that helped the Seawolves to second place behind Providence at the NCAA Division I New England Regional Cross Country Championship, last Saturday at Harvard University.

(The team, incidentally, is coached by former two-time Providence College All-America selection and Irish Olympian Andy Ronan, who was named the America East Conference Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year.)

Meanwhile, former Bishop Hendricken standout Tom Webb will be competing at the NCAA's with the Providence College men's cross country team.

The two-time Rhode Island cross-country champion and 2005 New England champion - helped the Friars to second place at the Northeast Regional Championships, Nov. 10 at Franklin Park - which, like Stony Brook, earned PC an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships - when he placed 53rd in 31:13.80.
