Freshman Heidi Baumbach followed up her strong third-place performance in the team’s first meet, with a fourth place finish of 17:31. Sophomore Catherine Ortiz, senior Kasey Currier and junior Amanda Boccio rounded out Ithaca’s top 5.

Despite humid overcast conditions, the team’s perseverance showed, finishing every runner within the top 90 in a field of 153. The Blue and Gold finished with 46 points, 13 ahead of second place team SUNY-Cortland.

The next meet for the South Hill squad will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Cougar Classic at Misericordia University in Dallas, Pa.
