Women finish third at NE Championships

After a long season of cautious optimism, the women's cross-country team is celebrating its first-ever team trip to Nationals. The persevering Jumbos placed third at last Saturday's New England Division III qualifying race, defying all expectations but their own. Throughout the entire season, Tufts has consistently been ranked sixth or seventh in a very challenging division, and although the team saw its potential shine through in a few specific races, it had not been able to establish itself as a division leader until this past Saturday, coming through when it really counted.
