In week 4 of the USTFCCCA polls, both cross country teams jumped back into the East Regional polls. The women came in at #6 after being unranked the prior week, while the men re-entered the poll at #10. These rankings follow a highly successful performance at the NJIT Highlander Technology Challenge on Saturday. The day was filled with personal records.
The women's team finished 2nd overall following a 6, 7, 8 finish by junior Aida Torpey, sophomore Abagaile Kimbrell and junior Rebecca MacLeod. They received major support from junior Laura Herbes and sophomore Kayla Cobelli who both recorded personal bests. On the men's side, sophomore Nick Martello, junior Aidan Russell and senior Ian Mirtile took the 8, 9 and 10 spots. Key contributions were made by the next two finishers, junior Kyle Kondracki and classmate James Dowd as they rounded out the scorers for the Spartans. The men's team finished 2nd as a team.
The STAC cross country program will host their Annual Spartan Alumni Run on Saturday at Tallman Mountain State Park at 10am. There next NCAA competition will be at the Hudson Valley Sports Dome on October 20th.
