"We had a strong day two and we out performed our rankings in several areas," said head coach Kate Howard. "It's always the goal to be at our best during championship season, and that was certainly the case this weekend. Our podium finishes from Alli in the 800, and Emma, Katherine, and Olivia in the 3k were all impressive as they all doubled back from scoring in their events yesterday. Our young high jump crew of Maia, Kaylee, and Amelia are showing a bring future for us as they all landed on the podium as well. We have so much to be proud of and lots to be excited about for the remainder of indoor and on to the outdoor season."

The Saints finished the two-day meet in fifth place, beating Union, RIT, and Bard. Those who have qualified will next compete at the AARTFC Championships at the Armory in New York City.
