10/14/2022 | Cross Country

New York— The University of Richmond women's cross country team finished second overall at Friday's 39^th ECAC Cross Country Championships at the Bronx's Van Cortlandt Park.

The women finished with four runners in the top 50 and 177 points in the 34-teram race— 72 more than winner Stony Brook. The Spiders edged third place finisher New Hampshire by just two points.

Madison Trippett was the first to cross for the Spiders in the 6K race, taking home 12^th overall with a 21:42.7 clocking. Elizabeth Stockman was next with a 21:59.6 for 21st.

Next to cross was Lauren Kurtz at 26^th with a time of 22:05.7, followed by Isabel Blaylock (45^th, 22:24.7, PR) and Manon Stephen (73^rd, 22:44.2) to round out Spider scorers.

The second-place finish is the best for the Spiders since it did the same in 2017, the last time Richmond entered into the event. Richmond was the top A-10 team in the event, finishing ahead of the other four (George Mason 7^th, UMass 14^th, St. Joseph's 18^th, Fordham 22^nd).

In the 113^th IC4A Championships on the men's side, Richmond took 15^th in the 31-team field with 408 points.

Stuart Terrill finished first for the Spiders in the 8K race with a ninth place finish and 24:12.7 clocking before a gap grew between him and the next-fastest Spider runner in Jordan Bendura who finished 105^th with a 26:03.5.

Freshman Henry Haase was the third Richmond finisher with a 26:06.2 for 111^th, Tanner Crochet ran a 26:15.7 for 128^th, and Jake Schindel finished in 147^th with a time of 26:24.2.

The Spiders now set their focus on the Atlantic 10 Championships hosted at Pole Green Park on Oct. 29.
