PRINCETON, N.J. – The Brown Bears competed in the Princeton Fall Classic, Friday, Oct. 18. 22 teams competed in the women's 6K race, and 21 teams competed in the men's 8K. First-year Morgan Boonshaft (43^rd/20:40.5) led the way for the women's team and sophomore Matthew Doherty (129^th/24:38.4) led the way for the men.

The women's team finished 9^th, scoring 331 points. Emily Mrakovcic (47^th/20:42.8) and Nimrit Ahuja (88^th/21:05.0) trailed Boonshaft. Olivia Fraga (90^th/21:05.3) and Isolde McManus (95^th/21:08.0) were the final point scorers for the Bears.

"Today was a great result for the women," said women's cross country head coach John Kenworthy. "Our goal was to be consistent in our racing from our earlier season meets and keep building momentum into Heps and beyond. I think we did a great job of executing on that and it resulted in a really fantastic team result. I'm proud of these women for sticking their nose in the fight and consistently delivering great days this season. We are certainly excited for Heps in two weeks!"

The men's team finished 21^st, scoring 617 points. Justin Hickey (130^th/24:40.8) and Sam Colton (166^th/25:04.8) trailed Doherty. John Ryan (169^th/25:08.6) and Sebastian Margetts (171^st/25:10.7) were the other point scorers for Brown.

Tommy Gaffey (211^th/26:02.0), Jason Markopoulos (213^th/26:10.6), Luke Bodden (218^th/26:17.0) and Colin Fisher (219^th/26:35.4) rounded out the finishers.
