New Haven, Conn. - (9/5/2017) – On Friday, September 1, the Chestnut Hill College men’s and women’s cross country teams took their first run of the 2017 season at the Misericordia University Invitational. With all five scoring runners placing among the top-50 finishers, the Griffin women placed fourth of nine teams in the opening four-kilometer (4K) race with 129 points. Afterwards, a second place (2nd, 16:14.30) run by sophomore Zigmund Fisher (Chadds Ford, Pa.) powered the Griffin men to third (3rd of 9, 107 points) place finish in the five-kilometer (5K) competition. His performance garnered an Honor Roll mention on the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Weekly Cross Country Report.
