MAAC XC at Disney: Initial thoughts

Just getting back to the hotel room after a long and emotional morning at Disney's Wide World of Sports. Our men's team got 3rd out of 11 teams in the MAAC, an outstanding showing. We were two points shy of second place, which is excruciating. But we are so proud of the effort, top to bottom. Our women placed 6th out of 11 teams in the MAAC, in an extremely competitive race. The final placement is disappointing for us, but we are very proud of the effort. We had two all-MAAC (top 15) finishers -- Matt Baffuto and Mara Schiffhauer. Matt was the first all-MAAC runner in four years on the men's side. We had two all-rookie runners, the first year they awarded them to the top-5 freshmen -- Zachary Ropes and Ali Bartolotta. We are proud of them all. Results and more thoughts later.
