The Hofstra cross-country team was far away from the storm that hit the area this weekend, taking its talents down to Atlanta, GA for the Colonial Athletic Association Championships on Saturday, October 29.  With a week of rest under its belt after taking home nineteenth (men's) and twenty-ninth (women's) places at the Penn State National, Hofstra was ready to claim bragging rights for the entire CAA conference. 

The Hofstra cross country men's and women's team finished eighth out of 13 squads at the Metropolitan Conference Championships last Friday in the Bronx.

It's shaping up to be a solid season for Hofstra University cross-country teams in 2011.
