2015 XC schedule: Updated and final

Our 2015 cross country schedule is finalized and confirmed. Even though it is more crowded than normal in terms of the number of meets, not everyone will race every meet. Because of the size and variability of our roster, we wanted to give everyone ample racing opportunities. Everyone that is healthy, and training well, will race at the season-opener and the Rider/Pre-MAAC meet. After that, we will split the squad up, with only the top portion of the team traveling to Paul Short (a departure from the past), with partial squads racing at Central Connecticut and Mets. Most athletes will be back in action at UAlbany two weeks prior to MAAC (the Princeton meet on that same date has severely limited its field size and as a result we cannot attend there), and then championship season will be upon us. Here is the schedule:

Saturday, September 5: Marist Season Opener at Vassar Farm and Ecological Preserve; men = 6k; women = 5k. Teams expected to attend: Iona, Siena, Hofstra, Fairfield
Saturday, September 19: Rider Invitational at Rosedale Park, Pennington, NJ (site of MAAC Championships)
Saturday, September 26: Ted Owen Invitational/Central CT at Stanley Quarter Park, New Britain, CT
Friday, October 2: Paul Short Run at Lehigh University
Friday, October 9: Metropolitan Championships at Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx
Saturday, October 17: UAlbany Invitational
Saturday, October 31: MAAC Championships at Rosedale Park, Pennington, NJ
Friday, November 13: NCAA Northeast Regionals at Franklin Park, Boston

Saturday, November 21: IC4A/ECAC Championships at Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx
