RESULTS
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Senior Jessica Brown posted her fastest time ever to help lead the Golden Flyers to a sixth place finish at the NYSCTC Championship meet hosted by RPI. Brown finished the five-kilometer course at Saratoga State Park in 18:14 to place 14th overall.

Sophomore Shannon Bradley (19:12) was Nazareth's second finisher as she placed 43rd overall followed by junior Abby Crain (19:16) in 46th. The Golden Flyers next finishers were freshman Jacquie Brambley (19:23) and senior Ashley Hughes (19:26), who placed 52nd and 54th overall. Hughes, who missed the Empire 8 Championship meet, raced for the first time in three weeks as she continues to battle back from an injury.

Hughes was followed by junior Megan Goetz (19:35) and freshman Megan O'Connor (19:41) in 64th and 68th place. Freshman Samantha Hickok (19:54) was Nazareth's eighth finisher in 76th place. Sophomore Caitlyn Parmelee (20:05) and junior Lauren Glaser (20:12) placed 85th and 90th respectively to round out the Golden Flyers. Brown's performance enabled her to land second-team NYSCTC all-conference honors.

Geneseo won the state title as they accumulated just 31 points. The Blue Knights collected four of the top eight places and had six runners finish in the top 12. Ithaca placed second overall with 88 points followed by Cortland in third with 124 points, and St. Lawrence in fourth with 173 points. Brockport placed fifth with 175 points followed by Nazareth and the University of Rochester in a tie for sixth place with 189 points.
