POINTS SCORING IN CROSS COUNTRY: Please note in cross country team scoring that only the first five runners that finish for a team count towards the team's total points. Therefore, if a team places runners in 3, 9, 10, 12, and 23rd places, it totals 57 points when adding the top five finishes. The team with the lowest point total wins the race. If a team does not have five runners in the race, they do not count toward the team scoring.

The Baruch Bearcats finished in third place with Sara Soto finishing fourth individually overall in the 6K race with a time of 27:14. Brenda Maqque was next best for the Bearcats in 12th place with a time of 30:05.

Indira Avila (Fresh Meadows, NY) of Queens College finished in first place individually with a time of 24:17, which was two minutes and four seconds better than her opponent in second place.

A total of 79 runners from 14 different schools competed in the Baruch Invitational, which is one of the first races regionally to begin the fall season schedule.

Prior to the start of the race, a moment of silence was held in memory of the victims of the September 11 attacks. John Jay College assistant coach Peter Dodenhoff sung the national anthem.

The Baruch Bearcats will return to action next Sunday, September 18, at 10:00 am by competing at the Queensborough Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.
