Chapman Wins Individual Title at Fordham Invitational
Sep 10, 2011
The Bulldog women’s cross country team laced up its racing flats for the first time this season on Saturday, where they faced off against 16 other squads. Sophomore Melissa Chapman won the race in a blistering 18:03.63, leading her team to second place overall. The team was only nine points behind Princeton, a nationally-ranked squad and the defending Ivy champions. The third-place team, Penn, had more than double Yale’s 43 points. The Bulldogs posted an impressive showing at their first meet, and showed that they can be competitive within the Ivy League.
