MAAC XC Championships: Women's results

We had high hopes entering this meet. We are one of the better teams in the league. Up front, we still showed that. But in cross country, five places count and we were only good enough through three of those places today. For a variety of reasons, which we won’t get too into here because we don’t want to sound like we’re making more excuses. Not the result we wanted, but again, a “win” for just getting back out on the course. As the first non-Iona runner in the race, there is an outside chance that Gianna Tedeschi could earn an individual berth to the NCAA Championships. If Iona is selected as a team, she goes as the individual representing our conference. If not, Iona’s top finisher would be the lone representative from the conference. We’ll find out tomorrow afternoon. Either way, it was a great run by one of the greatest runners in school history.
