Christine Collins '07 was a four-year letter winner in both cross country and track & field. As a sophomore in 2004, she was honored as the NCAC's Cross Country Runner of the Year after finishing first overall at the NCAC Championships. That year, she followed up with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional. A three-time NCAC Runner of the Week, Collins was also a three-time first-team All-NCAC performer (2003, 2004, 2005) and was a two-time All-Great Lakes Region honoree (2004, 2005). Collins helped lead her team to NCAC Championships in 2003, 2004, and 2005, along with first-place finishes at Great Lakes Regionals in 2004 and 2005, and two appearances at the NCAA Division III Championship (2004, 2005). Collins was named to the NCAC's 30th Anniversary All-Decade Team in cross country.
In track & field, Collins was the 2005 NCAC Indoor Middle Distance/Distance Runner of the Year as a sophomore, was a five-time NCAC Champion, and was a 10-time All-NCAC performer. She took home individual conference championships in the 5,000-meter run (2005, 2007) and 3,000-meter run (2005) in indoor track, and in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (2004, 2005) for outdoor track. Collins was also a part of two NCAC Championship teams in 2004 (won both indoor and outdoor conference championships), and she remains the school record holder in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (set in 2005).
