COURSE MAP

Last year, the women's team placed fifth at the regional and the men came in ninth. The women have finished within the top five in seven of the last eight races and the men have been top 10 in six of the last eight events.

The IC men will be represented by Aidan Loughlin, Griffin Lupes, Connor McGeehan, Elliott Painting, Toag Wolf, Ben Buffone, Kaiden Chandler, Felix Farrugia and Colin Lesher.

Wolf is coming off a 14th place showing at the Liberty League Championships, which earned them second team honors, but Wolf does not have to compete against runners from RPI, St. Lawrence and Vassar in Saturday's race as those schools compete in the Mideast Region.

Buffone finished just outside the top 21 at the Liberty League race and will look to claim an all-region honor this weekend.

The women will be sending Logan Brasacchio, Madison Buckley, Erika Doran, Lola Gitlin, Jessica Goode, Kayleigh Milligan, Hannah Pawlowski, Joy Petersen and Nicole Tellechea.

Four members of the women's program posted All-Liberty League performances two weeks ago, led by a seventh place performance from Gitlin. Goode, Pawlowski and Brasacchio claimed 15th, 18th and 19th in the Liberty League Championship.

Any of these top runners will look to see their names called to compete in the NCAA Division III Championship in the selection release that comes out on Sunday, November 16. The national championship race will be held on November 22 in Spartanburg, S.C.
