Gwynedd Mercy University Athletics

Colleen Farrell was a cornerstone of Gwynedd Mercy's rise in collegiate cross country. As the 2002 PAC individual champion and a three-time All-PAC First-Team performer, she consistently led by example. In 2003, her standout 4th-place finish at the PAC Championship (20:56.6) and a victory at the Delaware Valley Invitational earned her ECAC Runner of the Week recognition. Farrell's exceptional performance secured her a spot on the CSAC 25th Anniversary Team, affirming her status as one of the program's early elite competitors. Her legacy transcends race results; she helped shape a culture of excellence that endures today. Colleen Farrell's achievements – as well as her foundational role in team championships - make her a natural candidate for the Gwynedd Mercy Athletic Hall of Fame.
