ECAC/IC4A Championships: Happy recap


It was a special end to a special season for our program. Our women’s team notched its top finish in school history in the championships – second place! -- with the top runners earning All-East medals in the process. The men had an incredibly tight 1-through-6 compression of 19 seconds and parlayed that into a ninth-place finish in a competitive field. Because of the terrible weather that plagued the Northeast on Friday, the courses were altered. Neither course included the Back Hills and the men’s course omitted Cemetery Hill as well. The men’s course, in particular, was very short of the usual 5 miles – one runner had 4.73 miles on his watch; we’ll go with that. However you add it up, it was well shy of the correct course in terms of terrain and distance. No matter. It was a great day at Vanny, capping a great season for our women’s and men’s cross country teams. Thanks to Martha Weimann for providing sooooo many photos (including this one of our special senior class). Very cool.
