BRONX, N.Y. - The Raiders cross country teams competed in the ECAC/IC4A Championships at Van Cortlandt Park in Bronx, N.Y. on Friday morning.

COACH FRANCE'S COMMENTS

"This was our last big test to assess where we are as a team prior to our league championship in two weeks. Both squads did a phenomenal job keeping their composure and being aggressive in areas of  the course to raise our team standing. Our men's 4th place finish is the best finish since 2010 when Colgate was also 4th.  Shootout to excellent team pack running, our leaders, and our underclassmen stepping up big for us. Underdogs no more."

Rounding out the top five Colgate finishers was Ava Kletti finished with a time of 23:13.7 and Kara Shepard came in at 23:30.0.
