Iona Meet of Champions results

Here are the results from today's Iona MOC at Van Cortlandt Park. A strong day for the women; a not-so-great day for the men, but with some positives along the way. More analysis after I sleep on it. A few notes off the top of my head:

--The women ran 6,100 meters. The women's team has been ravaged by illness this week, and I think Erin O'Reilly might have been affected the most today. Katie Messina had a strong day as lead runner.

--The men ran a 5-mile course that was tough in that the Back Hills and Cemetery were separated only by about 1000 meters. I think our guys could have been a little more aggressive in the early going, but otherwise I believe we are just a bit flat from the high volume of training we have been doing. Freshman Ken Walshak debuted nicely at the 5-mile distance and was our lead runner today.
