Chicago, IL - The Robert Morris Women's Cross Country team jump started their recruiting season with the signing of Marylyn Hall, a multi-sport athlete from Dwight D. Eisenhower High School in Blue Island, IL, on November 5, 2008.

The daughter of Gregoria Hall of Chicago, IL, Marylyn starred in both cross country and track for Coach Erin Brody's Cardinals.  She also represents EHS on the hardwood as backcourt player on the Girls' Basketball team.

The team's MVP in 2007, Marylyn also helped lead her team to the Illinois High School Assocaition Sectionals in her senior year and was a Top 15 runner in the South Suburban Conference.  She was a member of the Cardinals' conference runner-up 4 X 800 meter relay team last spring.
