Amber Williams was named the 2023 NCAA Division III Men’s Cross Country National Coach of the Year. Williams, in her first year as head coach at Pomona-Pitzer, led the Sagehens to the national title at the 2023 NCAA DIII Cross Country Championships in Newville, Pennsylvania. Pomona-Pitzer came into the NCAA Championships ranked eighth in the National Coaches’ Poll, but used pack running to reign supreme at Big Springs High School. The Sagehens put four runners in the top-25 as they beat top-ranked UW-La Crosse by one point, 158-159. Pomona-Pitzer came on strong at the end of the season, winning team titles at the SCIAC Championships as well as the West Region Championships.
