Five Hawks earn top-10 finishes; MSV's Charlton wins first place, Murphy Coach of the Year
11/10/2006 - (Riverdale, NY) - Five members of the Cooper Union Men's Cross Country team finished in the top-10 as the Hawks dominated Friday's Hudson Valley Men's Athletic Conference (HVMAC) Cross Country Championships held at Van Cortlandt Park in Riverdale, New York. CU earned 33 team points, finishing well ahead of runner-up Mount Saint Vincent (44), the Pratt Institute (57) and St. Joseph's (124). The Webb Institute competed, however due to the fact that they had less than five competitors, the Webbies were ineligible for a team result.
Cooper Union won the HVMAC Cross Country Champion with a dominant performance that saw five Hawks earn top-10 finishes. CU scored 33 team points, followed by Mount Saint Vincent (44), Pratt (57), and St. Joseph's (124).
