MAAC Meet: Second-place success!

Just getting back from Van Cortlandt Park, where our program had one of its finest days.

--On the women's side, we placed a solid second behind Iona (18 points) with 60 points. We had four (4!) All-MAAC runners in Addie DiFrancesco (4th), Michelle Gaye (6th), Erin Thompson (12th) and Katie Messina (14th). This was a truly thrilling meet to watch.

--On the men's side, we place second behind Iona (15) with 66 points. This was Iona's 21st consecutive team title. On nine (9) occasions, our program was runner-up to Iona -- including each of the past seven (7) years. It is a point of pride for us. We had three All-MAAC runners in Will Griffin (6th), Matt Flint (7th) and Arquimedes DelaCruz (8th). Iona swept the top-5 spots.

There is much more to say and type about the meet, but I will save that for later when I have more time.

Suffice it to say that this was one of the program's finest hours. As always, it was extremely special to share it with our families and our extended family of alumni and friends who always support us so well.
