Bulldogs Finish 14th at Paul Short Run

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Yale women's cross country team took 14th place (442 points) among 41 teams in the 6K Gold Race at the Paul Short Run Friday morning at Lehigh's Goodman Campus. Villanova (96 points) won, edging No. 28 Penn State by five points. Georgetown's Melissa Riggins finished first individually (19:34.8). 
 
The race gave the Bulldogs their best chance yet to size up their Ivy League and Regional competition. The meet included seven Ivy League teams, including all of the top seven from Heps last year. Yale placed third among those Ivy teams. Additionally, two of the three teams directly ahead of Yale in the latest USTFCCCA Northeast Region rankings were there – No. 4 Harvard placed ninth (293 points) and No. 5 UConn placed sixth (237 points). Yale was ranked No. 7 in the region (Columbia, ranked No. 6 in the region, is competing at Louisville's Cross Country Classic Saturday).
 
Last year at this race, Yale placed seventh (286 points) out of 42 teams. Senior Claire Archer was Yale's top finisher (13th overall, 20:22).   
The Bulldogs: Notes:
  • In the Open Women's 6K earlier in the day, senior Anna Chamberlin placed 12th (21:22.1), sophomore Muriel Lovshin placed 33rd (22:07.9), senior Cara Joyce placed 56th (22:27.2) and junior Priya Gangadharan placed 63rd (22:36.5). The race had 442 finishers, with UMass Lowell's Mary-Kate Finn finishing first (20:04.4).
