Georgian Court University Athletic Hall-of-Fame
Nancy Staudt Arvan enjoyed a collegiate career spent mostly in the fast lane as the premier harrier in Georgian Court cross country history. The three-time District 13 individual champion paced the Lions to multiple District 13 crowns, resulting in multiple appearances in the NAIA national championships.
A staple atop the standings in every race she entered, Nancy earned her most impressive achievement in May 1985 when the junior placed second overall in the NAIA National Marathon Championships with a lightning-quick time of 2:55.46. Held at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, the finish crowned Nancy as the first (and only) All-American in program history.
