The Roos won with 35 points beating second-place Paul Smith’s College by 10 points.

SUNY Canton finished 1-2-3 in the race led by Mydosh who shaved 1 minute, 7 seconds off her time from last year’s event to finish first overall in a time of 22:14.

Freshman Kyra Byrne (Queensbury, N.Y.) came in second place in a time of 23:45 and freshman Megan Morrow (Gouverneur, N.Y.) was third posting a time of 23:51.

“I’m just incredibly proud of these ladies,” said head coach Katie Kennedy.

“We have a few runners battling injuries and they all really gutted it out on a tough course. This win means a lot for this team and this program.”

The win was the second team title in school history. The Roos also won the Sunrise Conference championship as a member of the NAIA in 2007.

SUNY Canton next runs in the Cazenovia College Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 29.
