ECAC Championship results

Thanks to Kathy Gould for sharing this team photo. Thanks to Mrs. Gould for organizing the post-race food spread.

For the first time in school history, our women ran in the Championship Division of this meet. And boy, did the ladies represent our program well! We had two All-East performers and we finished in seventh place in a strong field. Coach Chuck reports that Michelle Gaye's time is a Van Cortlandt Park 5km school record for a course that included the Back Hills. Other highlights:

--Kristen Traub was the top freshman in the field, and was All-East
--Senior Katie Messina closed her career with a VCP personal-best
--Personal-best times for Nicki Nesi, Christine Coughlin, Becca Denise

Nicely done to one and all ...
