Worcester, MA- The Worcester State Women's Cross-Country team travelled a day later than expected to the UMass-Dartmouth Invitational on Sunday. The meet, initially scheduled for Saturday, September 16th, was moved to the following day to ensure the best course possible as the area was faced with the threat of Hurricane Lee. Sophomore Leah Berg (Worcester, MA) was again the first runner across for the Lancers for the second time in a row this season.
Berg, leading the Lancer pack crossed in a time of 22:25.23 for Worcester State. Folling in a pack about three minutes behind were sophomores Jillian McMenemy (Westborough, MA) and Claudia Symonick (Auburn, MA), crossing in times of 25:23.04 and 25:25.82. To round out the all-sophomore success on the day, Emily Colantuoni crossed just about a minute behind in a time of 26:22.00.
Running in the second race for the Lancers was sophomore Gillian McDonald (Sutton, MA) who crossed in a time of 41:42.81 to close out the races for the Lancers on the afternoon.
The Lancers are back in action on September 30th, when they head north to Keene State for the Keene State invitational.
