A "banner" day at VCP!

Big, breaking news!

Our women's team WON the ECAC University Division, today at Van Cortlandt Park.

Addie DiFrancesco set an all-time Marist xc 5km record and was 5th place overall. Brittany Burns and Kathryn Sheehan joined Addie as All-East finishers, all placing in the top 15.

Our 4-5-6-7 pack was the best in the race. Depth wins cross country races!

Congrats, ladies. And major kudos to Coach Chuck for putting together a great program. The future is bright.

Our men's varsity -- minus Vess and Quimes -- had a strong showing in the Championship Division. We were 6th of 13 in a competitive field. A positive end to a mostly strong season.

More results and details later on when I have time to type them up.

FYI: It was literally a "banner" day as the ECAC rewarded us with an "ECAC Champions" banner, which is now hanging proudly in Chuck's office.

Rock on.
