It’s official. Woodbridge distance runner Christine Babcock has committed to Washington.

Babcock has racked up some impressive credentials to this point and she still has one more track and field season remaining. She’s a two-time state champion in the 1,600 meters and a two-time Division II state cross-country champion.

Washington finished eighth at the NCAA women’s cross-country championships in November. Babcock will join a team that also includes current freshmen Marie Lawrence of Reno, a three-time runner-up at the Footlocker National Cross-Country Championships, and Lauren Saylor of Clovis, a four-time state qualifier.

Seems like she picked a winner.
