Cross country races at Boston

By Graham Alig | September 26, 1995

The Dartmouth cross country teams were tempered as they ran their first stiff contest Saturday in Boston. The Boston Invitational boasted traditionally strong running teams such as Providence, Life College, and Villanova. Dartmouth struggled slightly against that competition, but in the end, the women finished second and the men fifth. Boston was a most important meet for the women, who faced powerhouse Villanova, while for the men, the race experience was the greatest trophy to be reaped. Although the race was not too significant, runner Chris Langan '96 was looking forward to Boston, "It's a nice flat course which should be conducive to fast times," Langan said. The profile of the course paid off for John Dwyer '96 who ran a stunning race placing second.
