Both the Men's and Women's Cross Country teams started off the 2014 season with victories at the Fredonia XC Invite held this past weekend at Lake Erie State Park.  Both teams won overall, as well as having the leading men and women cross the finish line.

On the women's side, sophomore Bonnie Bingelli was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 20:07.16 with junior Lauren Kotas coming in right behind her with a time of 20:14.59.  Rounding out the top five for the women were sophomores Kara Hall, Alyssa Stroud, and Julia Johnson finishing sixth, eighth, and ninth respectively.  The women won the meet with a combined score of 26.

On the men's side, senior Zakk Hess led the pack with a time of 16:12.24 while junior Collin Mulcahy finished second with a time of 16:27.56.  Rounding out the top five for the men were senior Jed Kovalvsky, senior Chris Shartrand, and sophomore Bobby Cooper, finishing third, fourth, and sixth respectively.  The men won the meet with a combined score of 16.

It was a strong showing from both teams to open up the season.  They have this upcoming weekend off from racing, but will look to keep the momentum going heading into the Pre-Regional meet at the University of Rochester next weekend.
