Carrie McKeon ('01) (now Carrie Kelly) ranks as one of Edinboro's all-time great women's runners under head coach Doug Watts, competing in cross country and track & field and later being named to Edinboro's all-time team. She ran from 1997-2000, earning All-American honors in cross country in 1997, '98 and 2000. She was also a three-time All-East Region performer and a two-time All-PSAC runner. She capped her brilliant cross country career in 2000 by being named the East Region Runner of the Year and was the Most Valuable Runner at the East Regional. She won the East Region individual title and led Edinboro to the team championship, after placing fourth at the PSAC Championships and leading the Fighting Scots to the team crown. She would earn All-American honors for the third time, finishing 33^rd. McKeon began her career in 1997 with a 19^th place finish at the PSAC Championship, but she moved up to seventh at the East Regional to earn All-Region honors for the first time. She would go on to earn All-American accolades with a 23^rd place showing as Edinboro came in fourth as a team. As a sophomore McKeon placed third at the PSAC Championships and fifth at the East Regional to capture All-PSAC honors for the first time and All-Region for the second. Edinboro won both team titles and went on to place fifth at Nationals as she earned All-American honors for the second time with a 24^th place finish. In 1999 she again led the Fighting Scots to the PSAC an East Region titles, and Edinboro went on to finish third at Nationals.
