Running over a 6,000-meter course at Mount Greylock High School, the top five Jumbo finishes added up to a score of 236. Sophomore Sadie Lansdale (Bethesda, MD), who scored for the team at the NESCAC race last Sunday, led the Jumbos in the ECAC's with a 24:48.8 time for 24th place overall.

First-year Lilly Fisher (Kansas City, MO) was close behind with a 25:03.1 time good for 28th out of 275 competitors overall. The third Tufts finisher, 60th overall, was junior Elana Davidowitz (Palos Verdes, CA) with a 25:49 time.

Following closely to round out the Jumbo scoring was first-year Brittney Veeck (Fanwood, NJ) in 63rd place (25:54.5) and first-year Ali Maykranz (Jackson, WY) in 66th place (26:00.4).

Middlebury College won the team championship with a score of 37. Vassar College's Johanna Spangler was the individual champion with a winning time of 22:51.6.
