It was a muddy, muddy day at Franklin Park.
On the women's side, we finished a solid 17th, a six-spot improvement from 2008. We should be proud of this as a program, all the while knowing we are capable of several spots better. Nicely done, ladies!
On the men's side, we finished a very disappointing 16th. No way to sugar-coat this one, fellas. It was a trainwreck: A combination of bad timing in terms of recent illnesses, subpar performances and horrendous course conditions. They joined forces to create the perfect storm (no pun intended) of a somber 16th-place showing. Such is life.
What's next? One more meet. We move on to ECAC/IC4A. We have a lot of school history here. Our mission is to run with pride and prove ourselves at this meet.
On the women's side, we are in the University Division -- where we should challenge for some of the top positions individually and as a team. It all depends on which teams declare that event.
On the men's side, we are in the Championship Division -- where we have been competitive in the past. We should aim for the level of excellence our previous programs have achieved at this meet.
I will follow up with complete Marist-related results from regionals, as well as some mud pictures if they are able to be developed, from the $5.99 disposable camera I bought at the Star Market this morning.
Good night, everyone.
