QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's cross country team will take the short trip to Newark, N.J. to race in the Cross Country Metropolitan Championships, hosted by NJIT on Saturday. The 5K race will begin at 10 a.m. at Branch Brook Park.
Last week at the Battle in Beantown, the Johnnies raced to four personal best finishes, en route to a 14th place finish as a team.
Just as she's done all season, Claire Cushing paced her squad by recording a personal-best 5K time of 18:16.9 with a 56th place result. Ezgi Yasar finished second for the Red Storm with a time of 19:07.5.
Gabriella Caronia, Hannah Huleatt and Cristina Stanescu all picked up personal-best times in Boston. Caronia registered a time of 19:30.9 for her second top-three finish of the season. Huleatt finished the race with a time of 20:00.8, while Stanescu improved her 5K time by two minutes with a 20:41.0 finish.
Ana Dobsa posted a time of 19:57.8 in her first collegiate race. Jenna D'Onofrio rounded out St. John's effort with a time of 21:19.6.
The Johnnies will face off against several schools across the Tri-State area in the meet, including BIG EAST foe Seton Hall.
Last year the Johnnies raced to a second-place finish at the Metropolitan Championships when they were hosted by Fordham at Van Cortlandt Park. Both Yasar and Cushing recorded top-five overall results at the meet with sub-20 minute marks.
