At the NCAA Regional Championships in Springfield, Mass., the women's team placed second overall. More than 300 women from 48 Div.

The five other Amherst runners finished in the top 40, solidifying the Jeffs at second place and five points behind Middlebury College. With such an impressive showing at the meet, it seems only natural that the Jeffs will continue with their success this weekend. The team strives to improve on their seventh-place finish from last year, and bring home the team's first ever National Championship.
