"This was a great way to finish the fall season and head into winter training," said head coach
Joe Wilhelm.
The Red and Black posted a time of 20:41.8, to win the varsity event, which featured a 23-team field. Radcliffe was second with a time of 20:45.7, and Boston College a distant third in 21:26.9.
