WVU would go on to finish ninth at the NCAA Championships- the first top-10 finish in program history. The 2008 season saw WVU place a school-best fourth place at the NCAA Championships and first at the MidAtlantic Regional.

Asselin and Keri Bland became the first three-time AllAmericans in cross country in 2009 after leading the team to a sixth-place finish and finishing the race in 31st and 34th place, respectively. Kate Harrison crossed the line at the 2011 NCAA Championships in an all-time program best eighth place and helped lead the team to a eighth-place finish as well.
