SPARTANBURG, S.C. – To wrap up the season, Naesha Gadie represented the TCNJ women's cross country team at nationals. She finished 166^th—the best finish by a Lion since Natalie Cooper's 8^th-place run in 2018.

Gadie traversed the 6K course in 23:17.1, improving 12 spots from Cassidy Quinn's run at nationals from a year ago. The year before that, the fastest TCNJ runner, Katherine Rice, placed in 234^th at the national championship.

With her solid effort at nationals, Gadie completes an impressive 2025 campaign. This year, she placed 3^rd at NJACs, which was two spots higher than her previous conference run in 2023. She also finished 7^th at regionals, matching Quinn's finish from last year.
