This season it is definitely all about the cross country teams. Both teams have outdone
themselves since the beginning of the season in September. The men's team successful streak started in Sept. 10 at Boston University Invitational. The team managed to earn 16 points that helped them take the first place. The women's team finished at an impressive fourth place at the event.
If you have been paying attention to this progress, two names that automatically grab your attention are freshman Erika Perrault and junior Tyler Raymond. Little by little the men's team has been moving forward at a remarkable rate. At

landed first place in the 5050-meter race.

The woman's team is not far behind in victory. In the Metropolitan
