Men's Cross Country

August 29, 2006

Men's Cross Country picked ninth in the Northeast region

Syracuse, N.Y.- The 2006 Men's Cross Country Northeast Regional poll is out and the Dolphins are ranked ninth. Le Moyne is one of seven Northeast-10 Conference representatives in the top 10 rankings.

Le Moyne is coming off an 11th place finish at last season's XC Northeast Regional. Junior Patrick Stagnitta (North Syracuse, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse) and Sophomore Peter Gratien (East Syracuse, N.Y./ East Syracuse-Minoa) finished back-to-back to lead the Dolphin's (Gratien 46th, Stagnitta 47th). Stagnitta also bested all Le Moyne runners in the Northeast-10 Championships in late October. He finished 29th overall and pitched in for a 10th place finish.

The Dolphins will slip on their running shoes for the first time this Saturday September 2nd at 11 a.m. as they travel to Colgate University and compete in the Harry Lang Invitational.

The Heights will be hosting the annual Le Moyne Invitational on September 30th at 11 a.m. The 5 mile run takes place on the college's beautiful landscape.
