Nolet & Golas Post Top-50 Finishes To Lead The Way

CANISIUS ALUMNI CLASSIC - FULL RESULTS

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Redshirt-sophomore Kassandra Nolet (Fort Erie, Ont.) and sophomore Sarah Golas (Alden, N.Y.) each earned top-50 finishes to pace the Daemen College women's cross country team at the Canisius Alumni Classic held today at Delaware Park. Daemen placed eighth out of the 13 competing teams, edging out Division I opponents University at Buffalo (ninth), Youngstown State University (10th) and Detroit Mercy College (12th). 

Cornell University, the No. 8 ranked team in this week's Northeast Region poll by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), topped the team standings today. The Big Red amassed just 18 points after their five scorers all finished in the top-six individually. Cornell's Annie Glodek finished first out of 128 competitors with a 5K time of 18:24.5.
