5th out of 30 sounds pretty good. Not as good as #1 or #2 but still . . . . .

The New England's were a week ago and indeed our women are showing progress, But keep in mind more than half the field was d.2 and 3 schools. A much better barometer was the meet this weekend at BU which included mostly D.1 competition with very serious schools such as Georgetown and Syracuse in town. You'll see from the T&F page we had our hands full, but still hit some 'personal bests'.
The men also competed last weekend at the New England's and went scoreless against D.1.2, and 3 schools.
The all important PL Indoor's are next weekend at Bucknell.

Women's track looking very impressive considering HC's "bar-couldn't-be-lower" standards for non-revenue sports. Guessing this team is where we park a decent number of the women's scholarships needed to balance out football.
Zoe 4:53 mile very impressive indoors. Hope she has a great finish to her senior campaign.
