The Bulldogs’ 158 team points landed them between fifth-place Harvard (131 points) and seventh-place Penn (185 points). No. 23 Princeton (26 points) upset No. 10 Columbia (58 points) to claim the team title for the third consecutive year.

Nussbaum, who two weeks ago ran the fastest 8K time by a Yale cross country runner in more than four years, managed to slice another 21 seconds off his PR at Heps, crossing the finish line in 24:05.0. He has been the fastest and most consistent Eli runner all season.

The meet is traditionally considered a gauge by wich the success of a season is measured – the Elis were sixth in 2011, and are hoping to improve upon that result this weekend. Their toughest competition will likely come from No. 10 Columbia and No. 23 Princeton, though Dartmouth and Harvard also bring very strong teams.

The Bulldogs bested 11 other teams, and their total score of 26 points was a full 60 beneath second-place CCSU. Times on the five-kilometer course at Stanley Park were slowed by rainy weather and muddy conditions, but the team raced as a pack and saw some standout individual showings.

The meet, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, is known by its diminutive title because the course at Stanley Park is only five kilometers instead of the customary eight kilometers. With Heps looming on the horizon next week, the shorter distance will allow the Elis to get in some speed work without the punishment of a full 8K.

This meet has gone back and forth between the two programs over the past few years, with home field advantage proving a significant factor. The Crimson got the best of the Elis last year in Cambridge, but this time around Yale is the home team and the favorite.
