MONTGOMERY, N.Y. — Senior Liv DiStefano and sophomore Rachel St. Germain finished 1-2 to lead the Quinnipiac women's cross country team to a team victory, its second in as many races, topping 18 different squads at the Jasper Fall XC Invite on Saturday morning at Twin Ponds on the Farm.
The Bobcats got an early look at the site of the MAAC Championships, with three runners finishing inside the Top 4 and all five scorers inside the Top 15 to earn the win. DiStefano was the only sub-21:00 runner on the course, finishing the 6k in 20:56.6.
St. Germain clocked in at 21:03.6 and Corinne Barney finished less than three seconds later, placing fourth in 21:06.5.
