"We had a spectacular weekend all around. The team had a great attitude and embraced the opportunity to race at such a historic and challenged course," said Endicott men's cross country head coach Spencer Lange. "As a program, walking away with two team wins and an individual victory from Holly Fossa was all we could've asked for. More importantly, both teams fought and grinded for those spots together. They've both have been working hard and we're excited for what's to come later in the season."

INSIDE THE NUMBERS

• All of Endicott's runners placed inside the top-52 spots in today's invitational.
• Going back to 2012 (based upon available data), this is the Gulls' best performance in a win with 10 or more competing teams in an invitational.
