Yale Cross Country Runner Hale Ross Dies
Yale cross country runner Hale Ross died on Sunday, October 30.
Hale Ross, a junior on the Yale cross country and track teams, died on Sunday evening. He was 20. The Yale Daily News reported that Yale dean Jonathan Holloway emailed the student body news of Ross's death this morning. Yale head track and cross country coach David Shoehalter told the Daily News that "It is very difficult to make an impact on an NCAA Division I Cross Country Team as a walk-on athlete. Through pure effort and determination, Hale worked his way onto our varsity roster as a freshman and into our scoring team this year. But his athletic accomplishments only tell part of the story. He was above all a teammate and friend: eager to contribute to our success in any way possible. We are all privileged to have called him one of our own."
Ross had placed 55th in the Ivy League Cross Country Championship. He was Yale's No. 7 man. Holloway's email said that "there is no indication of an accident or foul play in relation to Ross' death."
