The Central women’s cross country team battled the weather along with the 10 other teams competing for a victory this past weekend. The Blue Devils finished fifth overall and scored 135 points in their final race in preparation for the NEC championships this upcoming weekend.
Leading the way for the team was junior Katherine Bossardet who finished the three kilometer course in 15th place with a time of 10:46.86. It was a good finish for the women as they were able to defeat two NEC rival teams, Long Island and Wagner, who finished in ninth and 10th respectively. They did, however, fall to Quinnipiac who ended up winning the meet with a score of 32 points.
The Blue Devils had some other notable finishers for the team including Alyssa Cole (10:52.00) who took 20th. Other finishers for CCSU included junior Nicole Coiteux (39th with a time of 11:16.60), senior Kim Savino (46th with a time of 11:25.60), and sophomore Amanda Asaro (47th with a time of 11:25.75).
The women will be heading to Quinnipiac this Saturday at noon to compete for the NEC championships, a race at which they finished fifth last season.
