Whoa--more about Cornell's performance:
"Overall, Cornell boasted five All-Ivy performances and 21 of the 24 athletes on the trip set Van Cortlandt Park personal bests! Additionally, both the men and women had the fastest average times for the scoring five runners in Cornell history at VCP...breaking a 14 year old record for the women and a 36 year old record for the men!
"Senior Toni Salucci placed second (behind only Yale All-American Lindsay Donaldson) and broke the 5K Van Cortlandt Park school record set by Kate Boyles '05 in 2004 and ran the #10 time in Heps meet history, crossing the line in a phenomenal 17:14.9. . . . [T]he top five averaged 17:52 which is the best such average in school history and the first time a Cornell women's team has had five runners average under 18:00 at Van Cortlandt Park.
"With every runner in the top seven a non-senior, . . . [t]he [men's] team's top five averaged 25:14.4,a Van Cortlandt Park school record, breaking the mark set by the 1970 team [of Jon Anderson, Phil Ritson, et al.]!"
