BROOKVILLE, N.Y. - For the fourth-consecutive week, senior Talya Williams (Schenectady, N.Y.) of the LIU Post women's cross country team led the pack, finishing top overall at the LIU Post Invitational on Saturday morning.

On the men's side, Molloy captured the contest with a quality score of only 22 points. NYIT edged out the Pioneers by a scant point, 55-56 for second place. Lance Edwards (9th)(25:16.69) and Joe Dorso (10th)(25:25.45) led the way for the Pioneer harriers over the newly designed 4.25 mile course.
