Kevin James won the men's individual crown, while both the Syracuse men's and women's teams finished with the team titles in their first action of 2017 on Saturday.
The third-ranked men's squad had seven of the top-eight finishers, led by James, who traversed the 6.4k course in 20:35.4. Redshirt freshmen Dominic Hockenbury (20:35.7), Joe Dragon (20:35.9) and sophomore Simon Smith (20:36.0) crossed the line nearly simultaneously to sweep the top-four places. Andrew Paladino rounded out the top-five with a sixth place finish overall in 21:01.7.
The men racked up 16 total points in the win, well ahead of Buffalo (41) and host Colgate (70).
The 'Cuse women were led by the defending race champion Madeleine Davison, who took second overall this year in 17:06.5 over the 4.8k course. Redshirt freshman Rachel Bonner (17:31.6), true freshman Olivia Elston (17:56.8) and redshirt freshman Maggie Toczko (17:59.7), finished fourth through sixth respectively. Kelsey Potts (18:12.0) rounded out the Syracuse scoring in eighth overall.
Next, Syracuse will head to Penn State this weekend to race in the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational.
